This is one of the main reasons I rarely do organized rides anymore. I'm not very social when I ride anyway. I like to concentrate on what I'm doing on the bike (and what other riders are doing around me) and would rather chat at rest stops. Even on country roads with little car traffic. I think I must be in the minority though. Why do people need to be side by side talking ALL the time?
The older I get, the crankier I become. OMG! I'm turning into my father!

So glad I'm not the only one! I just can't ride and chit-chat too. I prefer not to, in fact. I'm there for the social aspect to an extent, but when I'm riding, that is where my mind is - and where other's should concentrate too - 'weavers' I'm, lookin' at you! I'd run someone off the road trying to talk to them!

Well, SOME of us CAN talk and ride a straight line. Originally Posted by firestar
