I know @Smokin Joe always stops and offers them a fag!

Quite possible that few of them would have been any help anyway. The number of cyclists who have to go to a shop to get a puncture repaired is ever increasing, many have to phone the other half to come and pick them up should they get one on the road.I recall having a puncture on a well used canal path. Circa 20 non roadies went past an not one offered to help.
A lot of them, won't even look over even whilst on an easy section where they look like they're cruising.
As to stopping for other cyclists I always slow and offer assistance, and have had the offer taken up a few times too. Riding a recumbent trike means I am easily recognised and who knows I may need help myself one day.
