Speaking as Geezer Boy, I never thought it was fun except when me and my teenage friends were spread out. To do otherwise seemed dangerous. And still does. And in no hurry to get somewhere as fast as we could, except going fast down hills. But not so close as to where we could cause each other to crash. That seemed stupid. As in following other cars six feet behind them on the highways, same thing yes. To get somewhere as fast as we could, that was later and fun and illegal on rocket motorcycles on empty intersates. That's still all true for me today and I enjoy cycling as much as ever, as long as it's not in the city. And fortunately I don't have to live in the city since retired. Life is good.
