Caligurl is absolutely right - it is more than possible to meet others online.

And the world of touring is probably something that you haven't entered yet or you would not make this kind of assumption. I have met people here and on crazyguyonabike.com who I now consider to be friends. I have hosted touring cyclists who I met on crazyguyonabike at my home, I have offered a place to stay to touring cyclists I met on the road in my home area, and I have received and accepted offers of support from people I've met when I've been touring. While I usually prefer solo touring, I probably would have taken Dominic up on his offer to share a ride on his tandem if he had been passing through my area. Velogirl's ride report made her experience with him sound like a good one, and an opportunity not to be passed up.
