Sometimes a person on a bike might wanna go fast. Sometimes they might wanna tool around the neighborhood at 8mph. I don't understand people who go out and do 400k rides, but I also don't think they're doing it "wrong."
People who obsess over speed aren't doing it wrong, either. Frankly, unless you're using your bike to batter other, unsuspecting riders into the bushes, none of us are doing it wrong. It's riding bikes. It's a thing kids do.
