I ride with every type of cyclist regardless of class from rodies, bmxers, MTBikers, old, young, male, female... you name it. Riders want my company in some form, whether it be for a workout, knowledge or a challenge. Respect is often mutual, even at times times when there is disagreement.
We use our bikes to gauge our abilities in some instances to discover possibilities. When I ride alone, and there are time I want to, I have less references to compare with. My choices of bicycle and riding style is what stands out among others
Elite riders get a kick out of my bikes while we're exceeding 25mph... and so am I. They typically do not mind my presence.

I influence, affect and alter peoples attitude, observation and awareness through cycling. Words, imaginary even videos on a forum aren't enough to express the experience. There are specif reasons other than attention why I rely on unconventional vintage style bicycles to join groups of modern bikes. Unnecessary to explain further here being that we don't ride together and these build offs are based mainly on artistic merit.
Well put!
That is one killer ride too!
