All of my friends are my cycling friends. We LOVE riding together. However, we always respect the training needs of each other. When I need a hill-training ride and they all want to do flats, I go do hills, and they understand. When we're on a group ride, and I fall off the back, I'm THRILLED that they are able to hang onto the main group. That's all kind of the definition of being a 'friend'. It's a two-way street, this friendship thing...
