Motorcycle or bicycle? I've been going to a Tuesday night run. It's so much easier to run on my own schedule, but I go to the run just to be with people. A co-worker does a summer weekly bicycle ride, and while I suspect you meant motorcycle, I think it applies to cyclists, too. I think he rides for the same reason I do the run. These are activities where one can be themselves but do things together. I'm not about to join the Stonecutters, but it helps to force myself into social situations. My open request to you and all of hubski is if I ever join a PT Cruiser group (and I saw one Sunday, a group of folks in their 50s), please just put me out of my misery.the happiest older men I've known were Shriners. The second-happiest older men I've known were bikers.
