When cycling solo do you ?

I said hello to a sheep yesterday.
It looked back at me as if I was deranged.

Was that before or after you shouted mint sauce

Are you lot all start raving bonkers? Do none of you just ride along enjoying the countryside and fresh air, or chasing down that bugger up ahead?

 

[Paulus]

Definitely No.1
Sometimes No.5. Cycling solo helps me to sort out conversations I may of had, or ones that are coming up.

On a related note, I recently installed a dash cam and I've found it's inhibited my usual in-car singing, goons impersonations and hilarious mimicking of accents on the radio. Last thing I want on accident footage is for my last words to be Bluebottle's "You rotten swine you".

I have the audio turned off on mine. When I first got it I witnessed a damage only accident where one driver was clearly at fault, but I couldn't offer the footage as evidence because moments before I'd realised I'd left home without something I needed and turned the air blue.

1, 2, 4 and 5 for me. I always like to moo or baa as appropriate.
Also like to tell myself stories.
It can be embarrassing though if you're singing away to yourself and all i f a sudden you realise there is someone cycling along side.

When cycling solo do I... obsessively craft and recraft the devastatingly incicisive putdown I am going to post on Cyclechat when next in wifi range in response to whichever idiotically stupid post has irritated me just before setting out?

 

[FishFright]

All 5, most of the time .

I talk to the animals, if you don't believe me just ask them. But not that ewe near Ettrickbridge, what she says about me is all LIES.

1 and 5 for me. I think food thoughts should've been included in the options. I always think of a big fat fry up when out cycling. I don't eat such things now,but the thought of one when i get home seems to keep me going.

With all the voices in my head, I'm never really ever cycling solo.

Commonly 5 and mentally putting the world to rights. And 1 when I am tired.
When the road conditions are suitable, I also like dropping in an ear worm, but not singing out loud. But that can have its problems as a neuron sometimes flicks an auto repeat switch when I relax on a ride. A couple of weeks ago, I had a week of Iron Maiden's Fear of the Dark. (Live version).

1 and 2, I often whistle to Buzzards when they are about .
When I was at school, a very long time ago I used to make out I was riding a motorcycle and would crank my bike right over to take my favourite set of corners .

On this morning's ride I was listening to the birds as they flitted from tree to tree , soooooo relaxing .

i found myself singing out loud whilst commuting this morning , normally its just in my mind
