That was about self justification, because the only person you need to
justify it to is yourself.

Could be, I don't make a point of remembering your made up stories.

I wonder if posting that, or any of your other undocumented brags made
you feel like you stood two inches taller.

*********************************
Krygowski began hating me from the first time I told him that he
wasn't even remotely qualified to give me advice on bicycling. To a
narcissistic like Frank, disrespect like that is devastating.

I should mention that after I rejected his advice, he demanded that I
document my bicycling skill and experience, presumably, so he could
decide if I was qualified to reject his advice.

OK, tell us your biking experience, please. (And drop the 3rd grader
insults.)

"How much recreational riding have you done on roads? How many years
commuting to work by bike on normal roads? How much other utility
riding have you done on ordinary roads? How much overnight or longer
traveling have you done on normal roads? How much bike camping? How
many U.S. states have you ridden in? How many foreign countries? How
many century rides have you done? How many rides longer than
100 miles in one day? How many times have you organized and led
friends on road rides? How many times have you organized and run
multi-hundred rider event rides on normal roads?  Answer in detail,
please. That will allow us to gauge whether your courage and
experience really are more than mine."

<SNORT>  As if "education and scholarship" about riding a bicycle
could ever be described as extensive. Many children learn it before
they go to school. 

By the way, presumably, the "us" in your question refers to you and
your imaginary friends, and I think you and your imaginary friends
should mind your own business.
