This thread is utterly pointless. We all know road cycling is pointless, but we do it anyway.

Riding like its 1990
Nipples on a man are not pointless, at least not in winter.

When I was a kid and was racing bikes (in a very much stick and ball world) I was told it was pointless. But i won. I showed them baseball was pointless. That was easy. Especially when I took the guys who stood in the outfield for hours for a bike ride. Most exercise they'd had in weeks.
I wonder how far Prince Fielder can ride a bike? Maybe if he knew he was riding to dinner...

I cannot help but feel this is a thinly veiled reference to my advancing age.

Only when you spend thousands of dollars on a bike and all the clothing etc just to ride 10 miles one weekend a month and then come on here and act like you ride like Lance.
So yes...it can be pointless.
