+1. I lost 75 pounds the same way.
Just as a footnote - my riding is not socializing, but a pretty intense workout, especially with the hills that I have around here (TN). I've done a couple of spinning classes with my wife that are great, but from a heart-rate and intensity standpoint, they are probably a bit easier than my bike rides.
