George Hood of Aurora, Ill. is trying to set the record for riding a stationary bike by riding it for more than 82 hours.
Yet for all the pedaling and all the sweating, the spectators never have to work to keep up. He just sits in one place, pushing with all he has. People come over to watch and then leave to go do useful stuff. The world continues to spin and everyone continues to go do their thing, but George never gets anywhere.
I don’t even need to pedal a bike to get that feeling.
Then again, there are other ways to put meaning into your life. Just ask James Bond.
