This is a lovely gesture, but also it's pretty sad (and very North American?) that if your car dies at the store you can't get home without relying on the tenuous kindness of strangers (pbs.twimg.com)

This is apparently in Columbus, Ohio -- a pretty major city by any stretch of the imagination.

And yet there are people who rail (geddit?) against 15-minute cities and efficient public transit that ensures no one ever gets stuck like this.

It is certainly nice to have friendly neighbors as backup in any scenario, though most frequent cyclists keep a small repair kit on the bike that includes a patch kit. Bike flats happen more frequently than car flats but are almost always field serviceable in 5-10 minutes. It's not uncommon for daily cyclists to be rolling on tubes with multiple patches.
