I call out whenever I see any other cyclist stopped. Most of the time they are all under control but sometimes they appreciate help. It's usually a case of needing my frame pump. It's surprising how may times I, or we on the tandem, have helped someone. I shouldn't talk - one time I swapped bikes just before commuting and forgot to transfer over my pump. Wouldn't you know, I had a flat that day. Another commuter going the opposite direct and with whom I've been exchanging waves for months came across the road and helped out.
It is hard, and i know i sound truly awful while trying haha Usually by my turn around point i'm not able to sing anymore.
He did say he called out, but my music was too loud to hear him. I see him constantly now and the entire scene ends up replaying in my head every time! That's great you're willing and able to help. I haven't yet bought a frame pump, but i have everything else on me for a repair, so I make sure to carry some cash just in case I do need help, whether from a person or a gas station lol
