When it comes to bike packing or bike touring, would you rather do it solo or with others?

Why is that?
 
In as much as it seems to be peaceful when you are riding alone, I can attest that it is much fun and enjoyable when you are riding with others. This have always been my preferred way to go for a ride.

For touring or bikepacking, I don't want to do it alone. Safety, company, and boring moments would be deprived if I was alone.

For general riding though, I often like to ride alone.

It takes too long when it comes to touring or bikepacking which is why doing it with company is always going to feel better and more satisfying rather than going at it alone.
 
I think it can turn into a bigger adventure when you do it alone because you control the trip entirely.

But I'm sure the loneliness isn't for everyone.

You're absolutely right about that. It's not everyone that knows how to deal with loveliness which is why most people's lives are defined by the company they keep.
 
I do like biking with others though. I like to share my adventures with them :)
 
There's a group I used to ride with, we are planning on a good session by the 1st of next month which is our Independence day. It's going to be a very big massive day for us.

I bet a lot of people get out on bikes that day?
