How many of you ride solo most of the time, either by neccesity, choice
or sometimes both. While I do enjoy riding with others, and even larger
groups on occasion, I find that riding Muni, 36er or trials solo, gives
me the time to just get into a kind of "zone", where I escape into my
own little world of carefree fun & adventure.
I can go at my own pace, and if I want to stop and take a break,
practice a particular line to my hearts content, or if I'm filming,
just take all the time I want, all without worrying about holding
anyone up. Yes, I love riding with friends but I also enjoy just being
out on my own quite a lot. :)

I ride alone. New riders have only been popping up recently, but they've
only been poping out because I've inspired them to try it (their mothers
words not mine lol).
So for all you guys that don't ride because you have no one to ride
with, just get out there and maybe you'll get some people interested.
So yeah I ride alone, can be boring but it makes me focus a lot more on
my riding then mucking around doing something silly which is what I
usualy do when I'm with a friend skating or something.
Edit: Company is always good though Anyones welcome at my house.

YEah if I had to rely on others to ride with me, I'd hardly ever get out
there! I guess some ppl ride mostly for the comradery; I ride for the
love of *riding*! That's what it's all about for me. I try to make
every ride an adventure and am always challenging myself to improve and
try new stuff.
I love MUni so much because I'm out in nature and even though I may
have ridden the same trail a hundred times, I can choose different
lines, paths, and it's always stays fresh an interesting to me. Affter
almost three years, it's more fun now than ever!

I ride more and more alone. I practice a lot in front of my house with
my skinny set up/ highjump bar and pallets. I go a few times a week
downtown, but most of the time nobody comes or they bail.
I used to ride with my brother all the time. He was the reason why I
got into trials (he's on a bike). Then he got a job, a truck, a desire
to go offroad with this damn truck, then a girlfriend, and he's pretty
much quit now. He got another life I guess?
I spend most of my time riding with bike trials riders, but it kind of
sucks to have nobody better than you to push you/ give tips. I've seen
a lot of people get things down (when I explain them) in a ride that
took me months of hard work to get. A lot of people come and in and
faze out of the scene, I don't care anymore. I used to get excited when
somebody new came on a ride, but I guess I'm more jaded now.
For my uni-socializing, I go to vancouver and ride with Justin and the
vancouver crew. HUGE uni scene there, wow! Saving up my cash to ride
with Joe hodges in the UK.

I ride alone 90% of the time which is fine. I can usually entertain
myself perfectly well, unicycling or otherwise. The other 10% I ride
with one or a few buddies, or in bigger groups on events organised by
myself (occasionally) or someone else (more usual). I'm happy with all
of this.

I ride alone. I have two friends learning, one I lent my torker dx, the
other got a juggle bug. The one I lent the torker to is getting a
skateboard soon so he'll probably stop. It's still fun to ride with
skaters though, at least more so than with your buds just sitting
there. The dude with the jugglebug is kind of a sissy, so he won't be
doing trials or anything thing extreme.
Looks like I'll be alone for a while.
