Building Karma

I was heading into work along 26 today when I saw a cyclist with a flat talking on his cellphone. Since the cellphone is not usually needed to fix a flat I stopped to see if he needed help. Ben had flatted his cool old 80's era Shogun on a pothole just before Mt. Pleasant and had broken the stem off of his only spare. I ended up giving him a lift into town to his job. He can pick up a spare tube (or 2) at Wheelbase at lunch and make the ride home. Does one build good karma if one is aware that is what one is trying to do? With school over, my morning responsibilities are limited to me, and I'm hoping to really increase the amount of bike commuting I do. I need all the goodness I can get.
