I found some glass and thought that was the problem and re-tubed only to have it blow out before I even got the bike on its wheels. Then I found the small year in the sidewall.
I put an old section of tyre that I carry for these times in place and banged another tube in. I got about another 5 k and had another flat.

I find it all depends on how helpless you look. If it looks like serious trouble or you're completely out of your depth I would think assistance would be offered.

If you're running 700 X 23c you might like to take a look at the Tannus puncture proof tyre.
