more chat than bikes ?

[peanut]

is the forum becoming more of a social community for general chit chat than a cycling related one ?

I've just conducted a new post search and of the first 25 topics today only 7 were cycle related .

Why is there apparently such a dearth of cycle related topics ?

Because the whole country is covered in snow and no-one can get out on their bikes, numpty!!!

 

[johnnyh]

got to be weather driven, more time for chit chat.

 

[Auntie Helen]

Yesterday 16 or so of us chatters met up and did a cycle ride, 35 miles, with occasional breaks for more chatting. Both things can be done!

 

[Cathryn]

There's dedication. Well impressed.

 

[Mortiroloboy]

Defo weather related.

 

[TVC]

What are these 'bikes' that you speak of?

 

[Radius]

Yeah I have noticed a lull in 'cycle chat', as it were, but am willing to believe it is weather related: no one's been out enough to have had any problems!
The cafe and P&L do make up a rather large majority of the posts tho

You need to come out of your shell peanut - cake abounded yesterday throughout Essex, hi-viz, (in fact, so much hi-viz the barmaid had to wear sunglasses) GPS, moody moments, oh! - and a bit of carbon bling along with white bikes and clarty old hacks (© tdr1nka, posts passim) bonhomie (and bonwomanhie too ).
It's out there!
Go get it!

Cabin Fever.

You guys are delusional.

This place has always been more about general chit chat than cycling.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of the most prolific posters couldn't remember the last time they had two consecutive posts on cycling related topics.

Not true. I reckon Keith has as many of his ten billion billion posts on cycling as on everything else.

Would it matter if that were the case? This is a forum, it reflects whatever its members want to discuss.
