Riding with others in your area

[Cyc-liast]

Good day fellow cycling enthusiasts,

 

Do you make use of training with others in your area or are constantly looking for cycling partners in your area/town? Or do you prefer cycling on your own?

 

I am conducting a research paper on cyclist behavior and would prefer a honest feedback.

Surveymonkey is your friend.

As above - surveymonkey. If you ask the right questions, you will be able to generate some very useful data.

95% of the time I prefer to cycle alone. 5% with company.

Preference: Cycling alone

Practically: Cycle with others for safety reasons

[EmptyB]

Alone during the week....weekends I'll join groups/mates.

[Mojoman]

On my own, don't have to share my spliffs.....!
Oh wait, I don't live in the Cape....I am safe!

[Benny 748]

Cycle alone, got bored wth everyones excuses for not being able to ride, or maybe nobody likes me!

[HdB]

Alone 99.9% of the time.

 

I am not a morning person, unfortunately, so joining the groups that start at before 5AM is just not happening (yet).

[Thomo]

Done both at one point or another.

Groups tend to invariably involve social politics which most of us can do without.

Not sure I'll be allowed to go solo after my accident though.

I used to prefer riding alone but in the last year or so, I've randomly met a few guys while out on the road who are of similar strength, so we have a jol on weekend rides, attacking each other up climbs and really push each other, but then still stop for coffee and banter in between. No drama or politics. Must say I'm enjoying cycling more now than I ever have.

With others. For safety reasons.

Vrystaat. No need for that....... for now.

[Joeboy69]

Mostly on my own or socially with my wife. Else IDT due to security or practical issues

 

PS: surveymonkey mich better than this thread

[Jenna Chicky]

Mostly alone in our estate.

I don't ride for very long and not very far.

NC, also no need for that, but that's not the safety I'm talking about... I'm talking about being hit by a truck... They ran me off the road twice this year...

 

We went out once and 2km in, a guy tried to jack a bicycle, ahhhh I laughed sooooo hard at him! Most muggers around here are half drunk... It's super funny trying to get mugged by a drunk man
