Ask if they had a patch kit or other basic supplies followed up are you aware that that is highly recommended? Then determine that they should have known better and said tough to be you. What would you have done if their seat bag had fallen off or been stolen at a coffee stop? What if they were new to the sport and did not know better? If it was a fellow recumbent rider, Birkenstocks and all?
