But I don't see the same ones out there repeatedly. I think there's a commuter on a road bike around here. I think he's on this forum, though I haven't seen him around in a while.
It would be nice to have someone around who I can 'identify' with.
In any case, do have fun. Good luck out there and keep us posted.
It might just be because the weather hasn't fully warmed up yet, but I rarely see the same person out twice. I have gotten my girlfriend to ride in with me a few times now (we work together) and she enjoys the ride when it's warm enough for her. Hopefully I'll see more cyclists out there now that spring seems to have really arrived, I live in Delaware near the UD so it's pretty bike friendly, even the governor put 13 million dollars aside in the budget to expand/improve the walking and biking conditions.
