Haven't had one of these for a while and I'm running out of things where it makes sense to write general guides on (anyone want a guide on how to lock your bicycle properly?) so let's just chat.
Got a question about your bike or bikes in general? Need a few pointers for mechanical issues or some tips? Post away!

Yeah, same. I currently struggle to do joyrides. I at least want a coffee or something at the furthest point.
What usually helps me is combining it with something that gives me a destination. Geocaching on a bicycle can be fun, as can be photography if you're into that.
Or maybe use a randomizer to spew you out some coordinates near you and cycle there and then be mindful. You know, smell the roses, watch some birds. Just actively be somewhere for 5 minutes or so before you move on.
Picnics can also be nice.
