Bike computers are bad too because they can make you turn every ride into a competition.
Do that and far and fast will come naturally AND you'll have more fun doing it.
Yeah, I just figure about how far I want to go today, google map a destination half of that distance and do the round trip. It's a lot more fun actually going somewhere interesting than riding a loop, and the destination actually becomes an incentive,
