Unfortunately, we did not go into Greenville proper, but into a 'suburb' where groups of 12 riders are a common sight.

I was also disappointed that the ride was not silent like it was supposed to be. It was quite chatty.

I'm going to suggest a different route to our ride leader for next year.

The Chamblee/Atlanta one was pretty quiet. I asked, in hushed tones, if this was the ride, and the leader whispered yes, hop in, so I did. We rode in complete silence until the stop where I was going to have to peel off to get home before dark. That's when I noticed the neatest bike. It was a regular bike, with a tandem attachement for one kid in the back, and a recumbent attachment for the other kid in the front of the bike. I had to say something when they caught up. They said it was okay to whisper, so I whispered, "Cool Bike." I know they don't pay for advertising, but it would be nice if the news covered it, so people would know why we're out riding that night. The local news covered 'bike to work' day, so they could easily cover this too.
