It just strikes me as odd that grown-ups would close off what appears to be a harmless activity. I know I try to spread the cycling gospel when and wherever I can.
I am part of a Meetup for group rides on weekends, but like the chance to get out at lunch during the week.
"Hey! I noticed I go out to lunch the same time you do! Can I come eat lunch with you guys?" This is equivalent to what you are trying to do. Not every group of cyclists is a club looking to expand their membership. They may be a group of friends that have been riding together for 10 years and talk about their families and personal lives along the way. How arrogant of you to assume you can just be one of the group without knowing anything about the group dynamics!
