    No - never before a ride.
    Outdoors I just ride, indoors before an intense training session I would do a warm up.
    (If you are going to stretch before exercise is should be dynamic not static stretches.)

    My stretching is done in the gym on non-cycling days:
    Quads, hamstrings, lower back, upper back, side bends, neck - some stretches are to manage old injuries, some are to ease off aches and pains from the previous day's ride.
