Despite being disabled from a broken neck and still riding a bicycle in the evenings for physical therapy (because disability is complicated), if you are on the side of the road or bike trail having problems with a bike, I'll still at least ask you if you need help, and I will fix almost anything you are having trouble with if asked. What I won't tell you is how much holding posture hurts and how helping you will cost me a few days of extra pain. I've been there and know how frustrating it is to get stranded over something silly and shit happens. I always have layers of backup redundancy on the bike to cover almost any situation.
