On flat, level ground the average human walks 4 mph, making for a 45 minute walk over 3 miles. Pushing his bike uphill, in extreme heat I would bet it'd take him an hour to reach his pack. On a bike he could cut that down to 15-20 min.
Are they really going to wait for him? If they actually are completely aware he's gearless then they MIGHT send someone back with a tube and pump. If not they might move on assuming he's fixing it and on his way.
Nonthless, it's no skin off my back to help him. Mighta met the president of some Fortune 500 who wants to give you a bomb-ass job.
I stopped and helped a guy, turned out he worked for a competing investment firm and possibly had a 6 figure job for me. I didn't end up having enough experience and licensure, but that was dang close, all from giving a guy a tube and a pump!
