Come to think of it, we still haven't found anyone here saying they

Nonsense. I believe everybody in this forum has ridden and does ride
on a normal road. I, for one, plan to do it tomorrow.

There may be someone who carries a gun when he walks at 3 AM, and
there might be somebody who afraid to even have a gun in his home.

to others who greet him on his segregated bike trail.
I can't imagine anyone afraid to do that...

And yet, you said you never respond to anyone in that situation.

So much fear!
I'll likely ride on a normal road today. There won't be much "truck
and car traffic," because I have no need to ride among truck and car
traffic, and yes, it's undoubtedly safer to ride where they're not.
I didn't understand at the time why my opinions about my skill and
experience threw you into such a mad rage, but it didn't take me long
to understand that you can't stand it when someone suggests that they
might do something better than you. What's worse, I not only
challenged you, I did it where other people could see it.
You immediately demanded that I prove I'd done some of the things
you've done, so that "we" can see if it might be true.
"We," Yep, it was all about making sure other people knew about all
the things you'd done. It wasn't so much about me, but how other
people see you.
I thought it was funny and sad once I figure it out. I still do.
Since then, I've come to understand how fragile your ego is, and how
much you fear stepping out of the safe little cocoon you've built for
yourself. It's a shame that you have such a need to brag about
yourself, and the only thing you have to brag about is riding a
bicycle, something that little children and aged grandmothers do.
Oh yes, you also became a teacher after figuring out that you weren't
goint to make it in the real world where you'd be challenged to
perform, and wouldn't be protected by tenure. Yet again, you chose
something that many grandmothers do. It worked out swell for you since
you got to boss people around and they were forced to treat you with
respect. I'm sure you bragged to the students regularly and I'll bet
many of those kids were laughing at you behind your back.
People like you with shallow egos are very easy to spot. Normal young
men at college age are brimming over with testosterone and can spot a
low T wussie like you for what you are. College age women can see it
too.
