In the state park right down the road, on the boardwalk, on the parallel street two blocks away that has no intersections, etc.
You can't take a road bike onto a boardwalk. The uneven surface would be hell on the wheels. And who knows, maybe the guy was on his way to, or back from, that parallel street.
It frustrates me to see bikers called idiots or douches or a-holes just because they're out there enjoying a healthy hobby.
