Do you notice drifting apart with your non-cycling friends?
The more I ride and align myself with the people in the sports community, the harder I find it to keep close ties with my old friends. Do you experience this as well?
And it's not like the lack of free time is the only constraint. My bubble is now saturated with people who love spending time outdoors, are more eco-oriented, aware of dangers regarding car-centric culture, sedentary lifestyle and overconsumption. Year after year it becomes harder to find common ground with people oblivious to these matters.
I'm starting to wonder if I should treat sport not as a problem rather than an eye-opener maybe. Your thoughts?
