I do ride road bikes regularly with one person my age, 76. We have similar goals and fitness level.

The rides I enjoy the most for myself are solo rides on the dirt roads near my home. Almost no car traffic. Have never seen another cyclist on any one of the dozen or so different routes I take. Have seen deer, antelope, coyotes, swift fox, raptors.

I suppose I might be a bit antisocial.
