The tradeoffs of riding with others versus riding alone have always favored the latter, at least for me. The exceptions are when family members want to ride or the occasional ride to breakfast with friends. My wife and I have a wonderful time riding together (separate bikes though -- that's another issue entirely), and riding with either of my sons is always a good social outing, but for either solitude or outdoor exercise there's nothing like a solo ride. Every Sunday, weather permitting, I wait for the sun to rise then don my cycling clothes and head out for an hour or two. It doesn't get any better.
