prefer to ride solo. can crank the speaker as loud as i want without disapproval from riding partners. plus that whole waiting for other people thing is so 20th century.
if i wanna go fast, slow, in between or all 3 in the space of 5 minutes, i don't need to justify it. plus, i like to randomize my routes. some days, it's all roads i've never ridden before
and probably never will again. sartre had it right; hell is other people.
