Hard to be helpful sometimes.
While walking in the downtown area I have pointed out many low or flat tires to people and they have responded nicely. However, while commuting on my bike there have been numerous people that have cut me off, honked because I would not cross a busy street immediately and have had firecrackers tossed at me.
There must be something about riding a bike.
