Yep, I do the same usually. I'll confess to occasionally cycling past when I see someone looking pretty competent pumping up their repaired tyre as they seem to have everything under control. But if someone has a flat and isn't doing anything to repair it, chances are your help would be pretty valuable as they're likely lacking a tool or an inner tube.
everytime I see someone with a mechanical I stop and say "Do you have everything you need?"
someone said this to me once, I think it's the perfect mix of helpfulness without condescension
