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

I do the same (or I at least slow down enough to say it and hear the answer). I’m always amazed at how often the response is unfriendly, though!

Last time I did it I got a full-on Kevin and Perry style sarcastic ‘yeeeesss I’m fiiiine. GOD!’

Yeah that's not very nice, though probably due to people being annoyed at having a mechanical. I mean I know I'm pretty pissed off when I get a flat. Though I'd try not to take that out on someone offering help - if anyone ever did!
