Other reasons he should try going on introductory/beginner level rides with a cycling group/club:
- Meet other riders like himself. Really raises your confidence when you realize you share the same boat with others who are also trying to get better.
- It's fun. Helps you stop being down on yourself and just enjoy riding with other people at your level.
- Learn from the experienced riders who lead, sweep, and otherwise assist the leader on rides.
Solo riding is good too. But progress would be faster if you join a group.
