Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm with you too!

Also, I listen to podcasts and audiobooks while I ride.

Cherish the time.

Around here the drivers don't like us on the road in general.

Group rides - they really don't like us. I tend to see more aggression and anger from drivers when on group rides than I do when riding solo or with one person. Seems their level of being PO'ed is directly in proportion to the amount of MAMIL's they have to look at.
