Having argued with that troll wayyy too much on the very same subject, I can tell you he can do much worse.

Near as I can figure out, he doesn't really ride much outside of his own neighborhood, but feels this qualifies him to declare that riding around 30 miles from home prepared to fix a flat is "ridiculous" and "virtue signaling." There was a thread where someone asked what people brought on 4 hour rides. He proceeded to explain that he only does 1 and a half hour rides "around the lake" if I recall correctly, and then make fun of everything the people who actually rode 4 hour rides packed as equipment. On a 4 hour ride, I figure I'm probably going to be at least 30 miles from home at some point, in the middle of nowhere, and yeah, I really, really want to avoid having to impose that much on a friend.
