In truth, there are a few, thankfully very very few, folk I feel I have got to know well enough on the forum to never want to meet in "real" life for the first time or again. In fora veritas, as the romans may have said.
How well known is cyclechat outside of the cyclechat community?

Mod Note:
Please let's not stray too far from the topic.
The variety of posters on CC means we sometimes take to a poster more than to others.
Thank you

My take: if you really think Cyclechat is obscure and not well-known among cyclists, well...I'm a member of Basschat. And I'm not talking fish.

I'm not sure exactly how many forum members I have met now, but it must be close to 300. I'd be happy to ride with 98-99% of them again. That is way better than I would have expected when I became a forum member.
I used to joke in another place that I should make myself a 'forumite spotters book' where I could tick 'em off as I 'bagged' them. With columns for 'met', 'went for a ride with', 'fed cake to' and 'they've kipped in my bed'!

Ummm, the Cittern Society? Start with a virtually unknown instrument and find 368 other players.

Well, after today's ride i can only conclude that Cyclechat just doesn't exist!
I rode the 140km route of the Velothon Wales and wore my cyclechat shirt. I was convinced that at least 1 of the 8000 entrants would see it, know about the forum and maybe ask who I was?
WRONG! Not a dicky bird, no one even appeared to give me a second look or ask what the forum was about. It would seem that outside of the 3 dozen people that regularly post here, nobody else knows or cares about the forum and it's existence.......

I think it shows that we are a snapshot of the uk cycling community, which is far bigger than anybody might believe.

You know what the worst thing is about that, right? It's that we're all a figment of your imagination... and you must be the worst kind of sicko to have invented us.

I reckon most commuting and weekend warrior cyclists have heard of cycle chat and post from time to time or even regularly, but most just won't admit to it. Although of the regulars that post here how many actually cycle as given the frequency and numbers of their posts you could be forgiven for thinking they wouldn't have time for anything else in their lives let alone actually cycling ..........................
