Mostly alone... Its hard finding somebody I trust to lead, and give signals on whether intersections are safe or not.

dddave 03-17-08 03:05 PM

i ride to work AND do group rides a few nights of the week.

LurkasauresRex 03-17-08 08:04 PM

I have a group of 5 agents that meet up with me outside of work every weekday. We then head out in a V formation for the commute home. I never lead the group because it's such a dangerous position to take ~

the real question is how HARD do you roll ?
who packs heat/weapons when riding solo

TheScientist 03-17-08 09:02 PM

yeah... how many do you put if you ride solo, but your .45 rides shotty?

Gotta have someone else there to film my leg-over skids. Also riding with my girlfriend is awesome because everyone can hear me scream at her and look like an *******.

maddyfish 03-18-08 05:31 AM

I voted alone. Although I ride with my kids to school and activities every day. And I ride with my wife several times a week. Most of my riding, both in miles and time is alone.
I didn't see anywhere for riding with the wife/husband. Or kids.

Half-Impressive 03-18-08 10:36 AM

I ride with exactly 30 people everywhere I go.

I've got an A.S.S. Shirt.

I do most of my training alone. Cross has lots of intervals, so solo suffering is my way of getting through it. I have a great team I can do group rides with, and Sundays at the track is also a fun community.

na975 05-03-08 05:46 PM

i can't ride for ****, thats why i ride alone.

homEsick 05-03-08 05:58 PM

i gave my brother an old ss of mine, so i ride with him when im home. when im at school i dont have anyone to ride with so i go aloooone

frankstoneline 05-03-08 06:08 PM

one of those choices should be changed to "balls deep."

Judge_Posner 05-03-08 06:13 PM

usually just the tip. just to see how it feels.

TMonk 05-03-08 06:49 PM

Fixed Gear:
With 1 or 2 tops trusted friendsnfor fun and safety.

Road/Racing:
More the merrier, up to 40-50.

12XU 05-03-08 08:02 PM

Monday: Group fixed ride 25-35 miles with 5-30 people
Tuesday: Group road ride 30-45 miles with 3-10 people
Thursday: Ditto
Friday: Pub crawl of some sort 20-30 miles with 5-10 people
Sunday: Race with too many sketchy Cat 5s

Commuting and errands are always solo unless I run into a friend around town which has a high probability.

rduenas 05-03-08 08:06 PM

It varies. I commute alone. But all my friends ride, so usually run into them throughout the day.

Also, group hustles to/from parties are the best.

dervish 05-04-08 04:02 PM

mostly alone...usually the biggest group i ride w/ is 3 or 4 ppl

Slow down and make some friends.

:D

I enjoy my solo rides, rides with friends, rides with my kids, rides with larger groups and am looking forward to taking a ride with this beautiful girl of whom I am acquainted.

It's all good
