I'll totally check on ridazz on the side for whatever reason.
Kinda funny though. I get some snippy replies now and then.
I think they are just frustrated. Or they have some sort of inferiority complex that their bike would actually get a flat.
Whatever... I still check.

I can wholeheartedly say YES. What was the question again?

To be honest I'll stop most of the time if I can help. I give out an average of 4 tubes a month, it can get expensive. But sometimes if there are people already stopped, I'll ride on.

Yes I will. I'll ask if everything is ok like if they have all they need to fix the flat or whatever. The guilt would just to hard to deal with because I've had a flat before and I thought I had everything with me... but no... I left my levers in another bag. Luckily some dude that I've never seen before or ever since had levers (it was his first ride and didn't even know what levers where). He was a godsend.

I always stop. The last time I was cocky and left my wrench, pump, tube and patch kit home for a "short" ride where I just never get a flat what do you think happened? I got a flat. At the turnaround spot. As self-punishment for being so stupid I forced myself to walk all the way home even though I wasn't wearing socks (man, my shoes are comfy on the bike but without socks my feet were a bloody mess by the time I got home) and even though I stopped at Bicycle John's to pick up another patch kit and some more tubes I kept walking instead of asking for a wrench and air.
Not one of the 15 or so cyclists who passed me on the bike path portion even asked me if I was ok. Obviously none of them were Ridazz.

This is off topic but in a pinch, your skewers, if you have them, can be used as tire levers.

Oh, yeah, way overdue thanks go to Cole when the sidewalls on my 27 year old tires gave out on the subway before the 1st Midnight Drag Races. After walking to the entrance to the tunnel from the subway he was the first guy I was able to ask for levers which I had forgotten that night. He graciously loaned his.
Ah, the huge bang when my tube popped in the subway car was quite dramatic. Half the people on the car hit the floor. I'm just grateful that the sidewall hadn't given out on a ride during the first two months I had the bike, hell, that night it was nice enough to wait until I had ridden to the subway before popping.

I helped out Eddie once at a NELA ride...he had patches...but I had a flashlight...and a helping hand...which made the fix much easier
I usually yell out "are you ok?" as I'm passing someone...if the answer doesn't sound so well...I stop...
I usually hand out patches instead of a whole tube...patches are cheaper... especially the self sticking ones.
If you're in a real bind, and can manage to get the tire off, and you have a pump, you can fold up a dollar bill and use that as a temporary patch...the air will compress the bill against the wheel, and should hold enough air to get you going temporarily...just have to be careful how you fold up your bill, so that it serves as a patch

Generally most of my tire/rim combos don't need levers, but the steel beaded tires I had sure do.

Most of the time, I try to help, but they always have it under control.
So, I tend to hover around them until they're up and on their way.

^^ Oh THAT'S LaHarr?? The screen name lifestyle is funny.
Yes I fix flats. Last ride some girl flatted in skid row, I didn't have the right tools, so I walked with her to meet her friends for like 30 minutes.
(I can be an unbearable asshole online, but in the real world I try to keep it cool.)

Sexy fixed a flat for me at Pier Pressure once, I'm not sure why but I certainly didn't mind.

I don't stop and help anybody, ever.
Stop this slander immediately
I do not, and will not ever stop for anybody.
Nor does 420LaHar babysit anybody, or fix flats. I was there when that picture was taken. Jon knocked a kid off his bike, turned the bike upside down and is trying to break spokes with his bare hand. That guy next to him is pointing at Jeff and laughing "ha-ha-fluffer"
I don't fix flats.
Stop, or I'm telling Roadblock

that really explains jon, how could you not let him "knock you off your bike and then commence to destroying your spokes????" seems stupid to try and fight this "giant ass tree of a man!!!!!!!!

most of the time, a rida has a flat and there's like ten people around helping already, so no, i don't really help with flats simply because i don't have to.
i will tell you this, however:
one time i was driving on the 210 west, in pasadena, that part where it splits up into the 110 and the 134. there was this guy with a car totally stuck in the middle of traffic and i knew he was fucked. i stopped my car and helped him push that jalopy to the side.
that's the mentality, i suppose. help where it's needed. the people in cars need love more than we do. we've already bought into the love. they need a little push in the right direction.
