BTW, last week I helped a young woman resurrect her mountain bike,
unused for five years, so she can begin riding to work. She told me she
needed new inner tubes because the old ones wouldn't hold air.

Turns out she'd borrowed a Schrader mini pump. She didn't recognize that
it didn't fit her Presta valves. So I gave her tire irons, taught her
how to change a tube, and advised on buying the proper pump and a spare
tube, checked over the rest of the bike, etc.

 
Even if that last anecdote was true, which I doubt, what was your
point in posting it?

It was just general conversation. And I thought some might be interested
that there are people who don't understand about two types of bicycle
tire valves, even while trying to pump.

In a group of older bicycle riders? Really?  You must know that we've
all run into those types of people.

(The woman is no dummy. She has
degrees in chemistry and physics and works in a very high tech
scientific laboratory. Different people know different things.)

Your imaginary friends can have any attributes you assign to them...

You've told us how you stay away from other people as much as you can.

That would be true if you changed  other "people" to "some other
people," but what's your point?

For what it's worth, I don't ride for social interaction, I ride for
solitude.

You've told us how you refuse to even return greetings from people on
your bike trail rides.

That would be true if you changed "people" to "some people, " but
what's your point?

For what it's worth, I don't ride for social interaction, I ride for
solitude.

But people with fewer fears and inhibitions do have conversations just
for the fun of conversations.

What was your point in asking about it?

I posted my reason and you snipped it. Go back and read my response if
you need further clarification.
