Other than the exercise/training/fun/enjoyment aspect ? which is obviously key but usually entails riding in a big circle for no other reason.

Commute is obviously the big one, did that for years and it was great but am now home based.

Do you visit friends and relatives on your bike, I tend to go to my parents and a few friends/relatives as they are fairly local.

Shopping is limited on a road bike but for a few bits I am not averse to donning a rucksack and getting a few bits and pieces.

Dropped a couple of birthday presents off yesterday.

Always being dispatched to various random newsagents to drop off something my wife has ordered and sent back.

Anyone got any other good uses ?

My record was 18 bottles of wine on a bike, 6 in each pannier and 6 in a backpack, seemed like a good idea but probably at the limit of the rear wheel before the wine and being red, if I had fallen off it would have looked really bad biggrin
