Plootering is a ride about on any bicycle with no particular purpose other than to go for a nice bike ride.
Special costumes, aerodynamic doo-dads or extensive electronics are not required, although a friendly sounding bell is recommended.
A vague slightly distracted smile should replace the grim "race face" of the hideously over rated "training ride".
Stopping for no particular reason and getting slightly lost are an integral part of Plootering.

Here's a pic of my dedicated Plootering about machine:



Thanks for your interest in this essential style of enjoying riding about on a bicycle.
