I enjoy cycling, long rides upstate here in nyc.
But I’ve never understood how it can be a social thing, as you are on a bike isolated from other. It feels like the epitome of being alone with my thoughts in the woods, not interacting with others in real life or electronically.
I know people do it and I keep meaning to try, but part of the reason I never get around to it is I’m not quite sure I understand how it would work.

- jerlam 2y agoThe real social part of cycling (and most athletic activities) is the pre-ride and post-ride hangout. It's usually not the riding part. But on the ride itself, social rides usually involve being in very close proximity (handlebars only a few inches away from each other), and it's normal to strike up a conversation.
