OK, OK, enough here, just go out and ride your bike, if nobody wants to talk to you, you're a luck person. If you don't want to talk to anybody, that's ok too. The only thing you may want to consider is, always at least smile at the guy with the bag, on long rides when everyone is concerned about weight, he's the techy type with the tools and the parts and may keep you rolling when you're 100 miles from town. Cyclist are generally very friendly people but they are alone most of the time, we get used to not talking to anyone, cycling can be a lonely sport, if that bothers you maybe you haven't ridden far enough yet. As far as female cyclist go, please come ride your bike in new england, we will be nice.
