I don't generally like people very much. I don't mean that as a joke. I guess I'm a smug jerk like that. I'm not looking to make friends or meet new people. I don't have enough time to hang out with my current friends and do all the things I want to do.
About a year ago my little sister was murdered. Sorry to lay that on you guys, pretty heavy stuff, but I don't trust anyone anymore unfortunately.

I ride because it makes me feel like a kid again. I'm only 30, but riding a bike instantly takes me back to the days when you could call up your buddies or go to their house and say "hey, let's ride bikes" and that was all the entertainment you needed.
I also ride because it's faster than driving (most of the time), parking is easier to find, it's a good workout, and it's fun. I only have one bike, mostly because I don't have room in my apartment for more than one (my wife has one too). I live in a flat metro area so a SS fits the bill perfectly, so that's what I ride.
I also like working on bikes and tuning them and all that. But yeah, long story short, I don't really ride to make friends or meet people and so I don't typically get involved in group rides or whatever. I enjoy the Tour De Fat that comes to town every summer, but that's about as far as I go. For now. I'll think about it and maybe try to get more involved - any suggestions on places to start? Critical Mass or what?
