Heck, that goes without saying! And I interpret that pretty loosely too - I assume that anyone near a bicycle and not on it might need help, so I ask. Doesn't hurt. Saved a guy from a 2-mile walk a couple of weeks ago.
I wish that same moral applied to the drivers who must have seen me eat some sidewalk last week - none of whom stopped.
