Thanks. That's gonna make Apple another $9.99. Don't have that in my current collection and love his stuff...

Something's askew...

As many others have alluded to, the ride "is" the point, nothing else neededBud

You mean that happens?

+1 My wife and I do "fun" rides four or five days a week, typically 25 or 30 miles. These rides provide exercise so "pointless" is a stretch but we don't push into the true training level and there are no "goals" attached to them. I have started going to a spinning class once a week that cranks the training up to a high level. That is about all of that stuff I can stand.

I'm just gonna point out that your point is valid.

Most of my rides are pointless. The point is to ride.

Good point!

Be my guest

Ah, the student has embarked on the way of Zen. Soon, you will become the Teacher! (see: "I ride my bike to ride my bike")

It ain't polite to point.

I ride a fixie. I have never used a cycling computer. Never logged, miles, heart rate, or anything else. I ride wherever the front wheel takes me. That's pretty much it. Why screw it all up with numbers? The only thing worth counting is the number of attractive female cyclists, (or joggers. Why not?) you see.

Went on a pretty much pointless ride today, so pointless i made sure no one passed me today, just to let them know there is no point in their riding because they can't even pass a 65 year old man on a harsh 1989 Aluminum bike. Although a 6 year old girl on her fixed gear bike did try to spin it up just to see if she could keep pace with me, or maybe she was just trying to catch her parents who dropped her off their back wheel. It was hot, windy and was not supposed to be a fun ride but it did turn into a very pleasant ride with a lot of fun parts, aside from the pointless parts.

Thanks for pointing that out.

I forgot what the point of this post was. Blame it on the beer . . .

I didn't know they made pointed rides.

"The law clearly states that everyone and everything must have a point," said the king. (Another The Point reference)

Good riding, Oblio.

Whoops. Sorry 'bout that.

Hey there, ALL my rides have a point. I point the front wheel where I want to go. Tim

I think I've perfected the art of riding for fun. I used to be speed-obsessed, but some medical problems kept me off the bike for nearly a year. I'm just getting back into it now, and sometimes I go and ride around the block just because I can.
I'd like to do one more century before i die (it's not imminent, as far as I know, but I'm 65...), so I may slip back into Training Mode, but I'm never going to forget how good it felt just to bet on the bike and ride aimlessly after so long without it.

So, a ride that relieves stress which is a proven cause of disease and reduced life-span is pointless?

My rides start off pointless...turn into the Tour de France...then end pointless...

No pointless rides here, my rides have to have some purpose, otherwise my bikes stay parked. With a constant need for work commutes, errand running, and shopping, my bikes do not stay parked for very long.

When I commute, I point my ride towards work. On other rides I point somewhere else, you know, in a pointless fashion. Something like an existential void....
