I'm trying to see if a compromise can be found. This might presume r.b.m. had some authority.

No. It presumes that adults - some at least - can discuss issues they disagree on in a mature manner without resorting to flames. Perhaps we should thank you for the compliment, however undeserved it might be. Your welcome. |

more riders. I prefer group rides where the pace is too fast for anyone to talk. I have friends who will speed it up whenever the yakking starts, even to the point of knowing the exact pulse rate that'll shut up the worst offenders. Works well. Why do a social activity if you're going to be (un/anti)social? I like meeting new people when I'm out for a ride and often talk to other commuters or others on larger organized rides.

Why do a social activity if you're going to be (un/anti)social? I prefer to socialize after the ride, usually. I like meeting new people when I'm out for a ride and often talk to other commuters or others on larger organized rides. (I don't ride in club rides) I don't do "large organized rides" for a number of reasons. The group rides I do are either fast pace line rides or (very) long distance rides. Socializing is really out of place in fast pace line rides, and on really long rides, I prefer to just get into the solitude. I've never thought of cycling as a particularly social activity, if that was my primary interest I'd take up golf. |
