I had some guy follow me down the block telling me my chain was rusty. I have a rusty, crappy bike that I use for local errands and I keep it in crappy condition so that nobody steals it.

That seems like the best way to go. Thieves typically don't steal bikes like that. As for me, I don't even leave my bike unnatended anymore. It's not worth the risk. Too many thieves live around here. I've had a few instances where I interrupted someone trying to take my bike after I left it locked up outside, and I've spotted several incredibly suspicious people scoping it out. In a few cases, it was the same guy multiple times. Now I just never let the bike out of my sight.

I wonder, does riding a bike turn someone into an asshole or is it just that bike riding attracts a lot of assholes?

Since you felt the need to bring it up in an unrelated sub, I hope you're coping well with your ban from there. I of course will continue to assume that your posts here are in no way related to the exchange you had with myself and other users on FPH which resulted in your ban.
Please enjoy your day.
