Praise for...cycling single

SingleTrackMind...
You little babe will be joining you before long...

I enjoy cycling with my two oldest sons who are taller than me and who cycle at my pace and are very encouraging (Great Mum, you can do it - I'll see you at the top of the hill)... and with my daughter on shorter rides... at the moment my babies and I bike around the paddocks together and thats fun too...

Cycling doesn't stop with a family, it just changes pace a little and the company gets even better

I get the best of both worlds. My SO lives 657 miles away. So, we ride together whenever we can, but for the most part, I ride alone. I shop alone. I surf bike forums alone! I let it slip that I just ordered MORE new jerseys, and he's threatened to search my house next time he's here, but I can always find a place to hide that cute new Anaconda ensemble (yes, jersey, shorts, AND knickers...)

Oh - two bikes are in my dining room, but Ashley (my main ride) sits in my living room/kitchen, right next to the tv, so I can always see how she's doing. I just bought her a trainer, so now instead of watching her while I watch TV, I'll be riding her while I watch TV!

Well, I think I might have almost the best of both worlds! I live alone, and my cycling pack consists mostly of men. They are very women-friendly and married or partnered. One designs human powered vehicles of many sorts--particularly recumbents and trikes, some of them are just so, well, darned cute, and another fixes cars, another is in medicine, another writes--so it is kind of like having a multiple personality boyfriend. And, I never worry about something going wrong with my bike on a ride. They have been just a wealth of information for someone who has not been riding that long. A bunch of us are riding a century this weekend and I have gotten a lot of good training rides and advice. I am so content living alone that sometimes I think I should want a partner, but wonder how much I really do, hmm.

wabisabi, yeah, sounds like you've got it all taken care of in your pelloton because if the car breaks down, bike breaks down or even you break down you have the "men for all seasons", even a few to just look at!

CorsairMac "yet another reason I need to move to CA!! "

scenery?

[wabisabi]

heh, heh, the "looking" part reminds me of a saying women have about men up here in Humboldt county

"the odds are good...but the goods are odd"

which applies to my guys, but in the nicest possible way
