Presumably I interfered with his plans of using the bike path instead of the more uneven surface of the sidewalk. His insult is wrong on so many levels that I won't waste time listing them. However, I'd like to ask if any of you would have bothered to stop to explain to him why there is a bike lane and a sidewalk and why the two are separate.
