Default How often do you ride alone?
Very little of my riding is pre-planned. I ride about 5,000 miles per year and 90% of that is alone. I enjoy riding with others as well, but I like riding as long, or as short, as I want. I also like to leave with 5 minutes notice.

So my question is this; What % of the time do you ride alone, and what % with others?

Never did the math. Sometimes alone, sometimes with a group, sometimes with 1 or 2 friends, sometimes with my wife on back.

99% of the time I ride alone, the 1% I ride with My Son or best Friend. I perfer to ride alone though, Because I can go where and do what I want with no hassle.

every morning and every night (commute).

I personally have no desire to go on runs, group rides, bike nights, etc... just not my thing

30,000 miles last year, probably 20,000 alone.

I commute to work frequently, which is by myself of course. Not counting that, it's probably something like 60% alone, 40% with others.

12,000 miles per year and of that, probably 1/2 is alone. I love the freedom to come / go when /where I please.
