Shit sucks man. How do I make cycling friends?

Also if someone knows how to reload a save from 20 years ago I'd make drastic different decisions. Like making frens and acquiring gf.

Just because you have a hobby in common with a person doesn't mean you'll get along. Trust me you don't want cycling friends. You don't even want to talk bikes with non-cyclists or they'll want to ride with you and slow you down.

If you want to be a normie, do things that normies do even if you find them boring/NPC/cringe. Go to the barcade and sperg about IPA with the soys. Go to the sportsball game with the normies and pretend to care about the outcome. Go on a date with that girl who likes you who seems fun and easy to talk to even if you don't find her physically attractive. Go on a date with that guy who likes you even if you think you're straight. Go on a date with that enby even though you're pretty sure you see them as a woman and will never not see them as a woman. Join your community garden. Attend community board meetings. Volunteer. Return people's texts. Return their phone calls. Instigate. Use normie social media and shitpost normie things with your real name. "Ugh this abortion SCOTUS is le bad! John Stuart was le funny last night! Does Dua Lipa support le BDS? What is she hiding?" The less you care, the easier it gets.

If cycling is your favorite thing to do alone, the last thing you should do is contaminate it with terrible, awful NPC normies.

Kids riding one-speed Huffys around town is basically fiction, and even if they did, you and your buddies from school going around town is different than a bunch of spandex-clad douchebags go seethe on Reddit about negative reception to them taking their $2000+ toys out on the road and being nuisances.

Hijacking this because it's a gay thread to ask about local cycling groups, is there any normal shit you need in order to join one in terms of gear or ability?
If I join with an old road bike and go <20MPH will I be really far behind a casual group and hold them up?

nothing

>roadie group ride / shop ride
You're probably going to freak them out if you have downtube shifters. Also not having clipless will probably be a red flag. Or a loud bike that doesn't shift properly.

>fancy unracing hipster ride
you need to either try not very hard or extremely hard not somewhat hard

He probably does. A fat person has the same knowledge as you about the best competitive cylist to ever race. Does that bother you?

If it makes you feel better, everyone after 25 years old is lonely, miserable, and divorced.

Very few people ever achieve happiness in this world.

You don't need cycling friends. You will never have the same pace. Riding at someone's else pace is the worst.

I'm not divorced and I actually like my wife in late 30's.

But most people just aren't worth being friends with. I think TV and movies ruined my expectations for friends, nobody lives up to my expectations and are much pettier, demanding of favors, not interesting to talk to, or just straight up take advantage of you in some way, etc. and I just don't bother.
