If he laughs and says it's "just a ride" and he's not interested beyond that, I'd still stick to my guns and say I don't ride alone with guys unless they're "my guy". Same reason I wouldn't do just about anything alone with another guy ... go to lunch, etc.
I would ride and have ridden many times with men who are not my husband. Some of them he knows (pepole in our riding circle), some he doesn't (Glenn and Twain, etc.). Assuming it's just a bike ride (and I know RR doesn't know what his assumptions are which is why she started this thread), it's just a bike ride. I also will go and have gone to lunch, etc., with other men, as well. Lots of this is business related, but some is social (my old friend from middle school who works across the street from me now comes to mind - I had a HUGE crush on him in middle school, but we're both happily married now and he's just fun to hang out and have lunch with sometimes).

And the shoe fits on the other foot - my husband rides with other women without me, and plays tennis with women all the time. He also has business lunches, dinners, etc., with other women.

I guess I just don't see why it's an issue.
