Fixing a puncture... "YES I'M FINE THANKS!!
So I got a flat on my ride home yesterday, it's a busy path so were quite a few cyclists passing by and most of them asked if I was ok, some even stopped when it wasn't neccessary. As nice of them it is to ask and I know they have best of intentions - is it ok to actually be a bit annoyed by having to shout 'yep fine!' every few seconds? Reckon it cost me a minute or two while I was attempting to perfmorm a super rapid repair

A passing cyclist cannot possibly be aware of how many times you have already been asked.
Believe me, it's a lot nicer than having people ride past and not asking, even when you have everything you need.
