When cycling solo do you ?

[biggs682]

So when you are out riding by yourself ie solo , do you find yourself ?

1. Talking to yourself
2. Making animal noise's
3. Flying a fighter plane in a dog battle
4. singing in a pop group
5. Re enacting an argument or conversation you have had
6. Driving a powerful car or boat

I must admit to a couple of the above

Pretending I am Lance Armstrong. Oh wait, I need to find another hero.

Definatly 1,2 and 5 and I always make a point of saying hello to cows.
Only cows mind because anything else would just be weird!

2 & 3 yesterday. Had a baaa at some lambs and was cycling along a quiet lane with arms spread wide like a schoolboy spitfire. Got to be done now & again.

1. Talking to yourself - Yes, mind you I don't need to be out on the bike for this...
2. Making animal noise's - No, although I will say hello to cows and horses as I pass
3. Flying a fighter plane in a dog battle - No
4. singing in a pop group - No
5. Re enacting an argument or conversation you have had - Yes
6. Driving a powerful car or boat - No

I always find myself when I'm cycling.

On long rides/tours I have conversations with myself in different accents.

I say hello to various animals en route.

Sometimes I sing, but not very loudly.

And if on a tour, after a few weeks, I start thinking of all the good food/meals that I'll have been deprived of hitherto.

 

[TVC]

I definitely talk to the animals, it's only polite.

 

[Dayvo]

I imagine I’m a Manc hipster on a fixie who is out bird spotting.

Wearing your Rapha codpiece, no doubt!

1,2&5. Yep.

So when you are out riding by yourself ie solo , do you find yourself ?

1. Talking to yourself <-- this
   
2. Making animal noise's <-- might try this next time
   
3. Flying a fighter plane in a dog battle<-- that sounds like fun, never done it before
   
4. singing in a pop group <-- no way
   
5. Re enacting an argument or conversation you have had<-- used to, not any more, consciously keep that away
   
6. Driving a powerful car or boat<-- yeah, car. Will try boat next time.

I must admit to a couple of the above

The only one I'm guilty of is going over arguments or conversations I've had and not necessarily recent ones either. I do find cycling is good for the mind and perfect for reconciling the events of the day. I can be a bit guilty of the ostrich thing, ignoring certain events but cycling seems to focus the mind more which is useful.

Guilty of 2 and 4, M'Lud...

and I do some bird watching but not hipster style..

 

[Dave 123]

Talking to the animals is great.

1 & 5 for me most of the time. I get a bit stern with myself at times, normally when going up hills, or trying to get the last few miles of a challenge ride done when I'm on my last legs.
A strange habit for me which has become automatic is to whistle when I'm indicating No idea when it started or why..

I sing to myself and to my cat: he's not on the ride with me, of course
