Running i liked doing with a partner. But biking I prefer to do solo. When I was a kid of course we all rode together all over town. But when we became teens I was the only one that continued riding and discovered my love of road bikes. I think all those miles every summer riding alone when and where I wanted to just became what I was accustomed to. These days of course I have my grandkids to ride with so I will make exceptions for them.
