Re: do you stop???
If I saw you on your phone I'd probably assume that was why you stopped and go on past. Do the thumbs up or down thing if I had time maybe. 30 years ago very different - stop or signal every time but bikes are so reliable now.

Re: do you stop???
I agree with Dailaughing I would assumed you were ok as you were on the phone, if you were looking at your bike with the 'oh bloody hell' look then I would stop and ask if your ok.

Re: do you stop???
I try and stop if I can, even though I haven't had a bike, I've helped a few people out in the last few years, gave a chap on the M4 some petrol as he had ran out, and another chap a lift to the nearest petrol station as he was walking along with all his gear on.
I have had help in the past so think it's pay back.

Re: do you stop???
If I see someone in trouble and it's safe/I'm able to stop, I will. If I can't stop and the person looks to be at risk I'll phone the non-emergency police number.
