How about a "family" section?

Not sure about the family section, but a youngsters one sounds good. Looked through the members list a while ago and it seems not many youngsters seem to post after joining, thats if they re even still reading.

To busy on their playstations and talking to mates on them too Ill be bound.

there's a crying need for a cycling forum for kids, but whether this is it I'm not so sure.

Why not? Who else is offering them a space to chat about cycling? From what I've seen in some local clubs there are quite a few youngsters out there who are enthusiastic about cycling.

Would it work as both?

Kids and Family Cycling

Split 'em. Youngsters are unlikely to be interested in 'family cycling' - kid's seats and trailers and that.

Great idea tho.

Definitely +1 with that!

I think that the average kid has got better things to do than be lectured on filtering or gear ratios by some elderly geezer. I'd have thought a facebook page with some permanent links to the main forum might go down well. If Facebook is still ok with young people, that is......

Maybe the average kid has got better things to do. But the ones that we should be targeting are the above average ones. I remember one lad on here last summer that built his own bike and went touring with it.

Settled - two new sections?

I think this is a grat idea - I've posted before about cycling with my young son in the general section - it would be good to be able to direct the question streaight at like minded individuals.

Just as well Cyclorama don't have a forum
