If you can't get up the energy to push pedals, sleeping in a tent is probably also not something you are willing to suffer through.
You forgot the basics. They are pedaling a bicycle and getting exercise, might even doing errands. They're not sitting on the porch watching you go by. Unless you asked them how could you even hazard a guess as to whether they like to tent or not. I liked tenting when I did it, but I also like a real bed and shower and out of the BAD weather. Judge not lest ye be judged. Keep pedaling!
