As a general rule-of-thumb, you should stop and help them fix their bicycle.
Then would be a great time to ask about joining them in the future.
While you help, just casually remark, "Hey, I noticed you are cycling alone.
I could ride with you for the rest of your ride, if you want." If they agree, then do as you say.
When one of you has to part, don't forget to ask if the person you helped if they want to ride with you in the future. , Cycling clubs generally contain cyclists exclusively, which serves as a great resource to find a partner.
