    OK, this is getting off topic. Pll, I know about that Facebook feature. It's actually not her original posts that bother me so much, but her reaction to my posts. When she comments on my rides, I'd like to say "why do you care, you told me you can't do what I do." This is a person who recently had knee surgery and went throughout her rehab all summer. She plays tennis and skis. Right before she had the surgery, she got some bug in her ear that she was going to walk her dog (all she ever does) while riding a bike. Instead of asking us for help, when another friend mentioned how helpful my DH had been to her when she bought a road bike, this person got angry and proceeded to get help from a neighbor who "just bought a bike off of Craig's list." Well, she did buy a Trek FX, which I told her was a good choice, but then I was shot down again when I told her I would be glad to help her learn the rules of the road, teach her to shift, etc. She again said, she would never do what I do, and she would only ride on the 2 streets in her neighborhood, after I said I would take her to the bike trail. So after her mean response to all my offers of help, I told her it was dangerous for her to walk her dog with a leash attached to her bike, especially, by her own admission, she had no bike skills, and had never ridden a bike with hand brakes or gears.
    The bike is sitting in her garage.
    She's a person that is constantly on her phone, texting, and posting stuff on FB, because she has nothing else to do.
