Although it is OK to ride by yourself - I do most of the time. It is good to be with someone else. Why not see if a friend or relative will come out with you?

Especially when you are riding somewhere that is very nice, it is good to share what you are able to see with someone else.

Also it can be a comfort having a companion with you to help deal with an unexpected puncture, wondering whether to turn left or right here, or any situation that might arise.

Another idea is to see if there is a cycling club that you can join. Most welcome people who are just starting to cycle. Do not think that you can only join to race!

For a different idea, why not think of going on a cycling holiday? There are often many different groups or companies that arrange cycling holidays.

I know two of my best holidays have been cycling ones.
