If I can stop them I approach it from a "hey, for your personal safety" angle. I really try not to make them feel stupid. More I want them to be safe and realize what to do in the future.
Argh, I know. And what about if they have some kind of really bad mechanical problem, but seem to not care? Once I was riding next to a couple, and the ladies' brakes were squealing like a pig giving birth...I was like "get those brakes looked at" but they gave me a weird look.
There are ways to tell people they're doing something wrong without being a dick.
tell them for sure. you're just lessening their pain by informing them sooner.
I have a tendency to tell cyclists I pass whether their tyre is flat, helmet on wrong, etc. Figured, I'll let them know, what they want to do with it is up to them. Most smile and say thanks awkwardly, I've seen a few heed my advice.
