An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

Already did my usual 16 mile physical therapy routine, so I did it again. Haven't gone over 26 miles in ~3 years. Me and the cats, dead in a bed rn, 2 brain cells between the three of us

I used to ride over 40 miles in a day, only on rare occasions though when I had nothing else planned and knew the weather should be alright.

Sadly, I wore my favorite bike out doing that, plus a couple decades of the torture of doing BMX flatland tricks. I can still ride my BMX bike if I absolutely need to, but the 43 year old frame now has stress cracks forming.. ☹️

Are you talking about the bike or yourself?

I dunno if you posted that comment on a whim or just cheated after reading my comment, but I'm only one year younger than my bike.

So, you're more or less right. Take this upvote and go ride your bike! 👍
