No, it was his lying and bragging that set me off.  I hate liars and

Bullshit. You were "set off" after I disagreed with your claim that
"Nothing can make bicycling among truck and car traffic safe" - which is
a clear and obvious statement of fear.

I then said "That does not mean you must ride on roads. If you lack the
competence or minimal courage and are unwilling to learn, keep trucking
your pedal vehicle to a bike path and riding back and forth. That's too
boring for me, but maybe someday I'll be in the same state. Although I
hope not."

Pointing out your fears and limitations triggered  you. After that, you
acted like a pissy fourth-grade girl, and weirdly decided that snarking
at nearly every one of my posts was somehow going to punish me - which
is just laughable! Instead, it just makes you look petty.

IIRC, all this was before we learned you're afraid to ride even quiet
suburban bike trails without a loaded and chambered handgun within quick
reach. That's the furthest thing from bravery.

 My bicyling habits have a permanent place in Krygowski's head.

:-)  Says the obsessive man who whines about almost every post I make!
I brought up the above only to explain what set our timid tricyclist into such a permanent snit. I generally ignore him. I prefer interactions with people of higher intelligence.
And those with more courage.   ;-)
