I "copped an attitude" because you inferred I was lying about seeing broken glass, thorns and tire carcass all over during my rides.
I'm from a generation that values their integrity. I'm guessing you are in your early twenties or younger and an inference to lying just "rolls off your back".
I've rode more than 15,000 miles since June 2009 in AZ and will stand by my statement that there are many tire parts, shards of glass and thorns where I ride. I'm glad to hear that isn't thecase in your part of town...
Either way good luck not getting flats.
