Just what constitutes a serious cyclist. (We have one definite one on the forum.)

Clipless threads are the worst what sort of ****ing ape cannot cope with without falling off all the time. These people should not even be on the road.

Do you think there is a natural life to membership of a web forum? I ask as a member of a fair number of different forums where long standing members get very tired of answering the same questions and soon resort to the standard "use the search button" as an answer to most questions. Basically, in most interests there are only so many questions and topics to be discussed so the forum can get boring quickly. Perhaps then it's time for a new hobby, intersest or to leave the forum alone for a while? I've been a member of a martial arts forum since it's early inception many many years ago, same old same old there - even the secret adults only section lost interest after a while!

Helmets and RLJing.

kung-fu porn?

This one in particular would be a good candidate for a sticky. I'd be happy to help write one if it would be useful - I'm starting to tire slightly of endlessly recommending M520s for one thing.

Why not switch to recommending eggbeaters for a change then? Much better.

Double - v - Triple is another that re-occurs.

I suppose the problem is that as new members join, they have a particular question they want answered; should I wear a helmet? what gearing should I have? should I use 3 in 1 on my chain, etc? They join something like this to ask for advice and being told to use the search function isn't very welcoming. If you're not interested in a thread, don't read it. Simple as.

I fully agree with the above.

I think the important part of any post is a subject line that tells U what the post is about,if U arent interested then U dont have to read it.

A fad - they'll never catch on.
