Justipoo's is wriggling again....

You posted that I had clearly stated that I had ridden past the hotel
on a bike. I did not even mention a bike. I had just arrived on a
ferry in a two seater convertible car with a passenger who also has a
licence. We were going to Hertfordshire. No bikes would have fitted
in or on the car.



So, a known cyclist, posting on a cycling group uses the exact phrase "I
rode and drove back and forth several times".

Now, since this cyclist also claims to be a teacher of English & an all
round expert, we must assume the use of both terms "rode" and "drove"
mean different things.

Otherwise he would have said "I drove back and forth" and not "I rode
and drove back and forth" which clearly means he did both.

Since he fails to answer questions about what he 'rode' - do we assume
this is a monumental wriggle & he is desperately trying to divert
attention -SOP?

Is it possible to ride in or on anything other than a bicycle?
Remember I was in a two seater convertible car with a passenger (with
a licence) and a full boot and no bikes.

He is a psycholist, what do you expect. I take it that he is trying to
avoid saying, in the weaselly way that cyclists have: that he drove past in
a car (or other vehicle), swapped seats and/or vehicles and rode past as a
passenger.

I do not believe that he did either (rode or drove), cyclists are far too
mean to waste petrol that way, and far too cowardly to go near a possible
conflict with a man.

Thanks. As you correctly post, Dave was wrong when he posted that I
'clearly stated' that I rode past on a bike.

You can ride in a car, on a bus or train (or horse or motorcycle, or
anything at the fairground, or maybe a boat, not so sure about flying
things).

Why not just answer the question : what was it that you "rode"?

Why say "rode and drove" - rather than just drove. He is an English teacher
and was obviously trying to differentiate between two different means of
transport.

I said 'rode and drove' to make a distinction between 2 different
activities.

I cannot answer a question posed by a cartoon joke.

So, you also lied about riding past?
