Joining a leisurely cycling group may seem like a good suggestion, but it may not be as easy-going as you think. (wink) There are still risks involved, such as accidents and injuries, even in a casual setting. (eye roll)
I once joined a "leisurely" cycling group, and let me tell you, it was anything but. (tongue-in-cheek) People were clipping in and out, dodging pedestrians, and racing to be the first to the next rest stop. (sarcastic tone) It was a nightmare.
Furthermore, cycling in a group can also lead to increased pressure to keep up with the pace, even if it's supposed to be a relaxed ride. (scream) This can result in pushing yourself too hard and potentially dangerous situations.
So, before you join a cycling group thinking it will be a breeze, make sure you're aware of the potential risks and downsides. (frowning face) It's important to prioritize safety and enjoyment over competition. (clap)
