Leave some safety pins on his side of the road. The when he's deflated freewheel over on your hybrid and tell him that you'd offer one of your tubes but they probably won't fit and ride off smugly.

Funny I ride 3 different bikes and have never experienced this type of thing happen, I normally am the first to say hello though.

I nod to all cyclists, when i am on the road bike i get a nod back. When on my 29er, nada, even got an evil glare last week. Think i will get a shirt made that says "my other bike is a...."

I've smugly offered spares/equipment to a punctured weenie before. He took it well, I thought.

We are a tribal species, we feel an affiliation with those we perceive to be of the same tribe and a sense of outrage if that person doesn't see it the same way. No point getting upset about it.
