I've just counted ten threads on the forum homepage about road-related cycling. If these people went to bike radar or something else the forum would be far less cluttered eh? Just all seems a bit off topic on a mountain biking forum!
It's a bike forum.
Did a roadie not wave to you today?
Anyone got that GIF from Groundhog Day?
OP take your whining to www.mtbforumwhiners.com
This time last year there were about three MTB threads to every 25 road bike threads as the trails were too wet to ride apparently. Even Hora has a road bike now.

Don't read them?
There's 9 at the mo...INCLUDING the one you started 🙄
So you've started a thread about clutter on the front page? Oh teh ironing.
You could go to Bike Radar. There's almost certainly a sub forum for "whinging weegies", you'd like it.
You'd rather have yet another "what shoes for flat pedals" thread, or any of the many other mtb topics that get repeated ad nauseam?
Luckily not everyone is as narrow minded or weak at trolling as you. Next weekend I'll be riding Dalby forest Saturday, and seeing the Tour leave York on Sunday (cheers Monksie).
OP knows [i]exactly[/i] what they're doing.
Naughty, OP!
OP take your whining to http://www.mtbforumwhiners.com
Actually disappointed that's not a real place...
🙂 Touchy much! Not get out on your bikes this weekend? Not see an obvious light-hearted prompt?
What's your point OP?
Not see an obvious light-hearted prompt?
Er...no.
I only see an obvious lump-headed plonk(er)
Glasgow defence.
Because most roadies on here also ride/rode mtb also CX rather confuses matters further. 😀
I've ridden my road bike off road on singletrack, can I stay?
Weirdo!
What road tyres for singletrack?
There's a whole new thread...

Well if the troll needs feeding, I do at least have an original take on road vs. MTB from my ride today. Probably kind of irrelevant to the thread, but in a way that's fitting.
Riding along the Wirral Way near West Kirby - for those who know it, there's a wide flat cycle track and a little bit of single track (a bit muddy, a bit more lumpy) running roughly parallel. I was riding a uni on the single track bit, as it's not much slower for me on a uni and a lot less boring - whilst I presume bikes are expected to go on the wide flat track and walkers on the other bit, as far as I've seen it doesn't have any signs prohibiting cycling. Just coming up to a junction there's an old codger with a dog coming the other way. Clearly not enough space to pass them safely, so I get off and walk. To which I get a torrent of abuse from the old codger - mixed in with which is him commenting that I should be riding on the road as he did when he was younger "off for a 100 mile bike ride in the morning" etc. Presumably he'd failed to work out that a uni doesn't work all that well for long road rides or maybe just not noticed that was what I was riding (slightly disappointed that he didn't tell me I should be on a bike). Anyway the final classic was him pointing to the "cyclists give way to walkers" sign and saying what a waste of time that is when people like me ignore it - I did ask what more he wanted me to do to give way other than getting off and walking, but then rode off and left him to his ranting!

We all turn into our own worst enemy
the forum just isnt as good as when the old crowd were all here
"the forum would be far less cluttered"
indeed, if no one posts a roadie thread we just get a blank space.
A kitten dies every time you don't start a road thread.
Think about your actions. They have consequences.
I think it's not a bad idea "non mtb cycling forum". But then I remember how long it took to get a separate for sale and wanted forum, and the only argument against that was WE FEAR CHANGE so anything that's not 100% a brilliant idea is a nonstarter I think.
Wheel size subforum anyone?
I wouldn't worry about it, in a few months it'll turn into a cyclocross forum
Speaking as a user of many fora - splitting forums into lots of categories is a BAD idea. It makes it more work for people to browse, so they don't, and areas get less traffic which is self perpetuating. Having everything in one place is far better. And if you want to post something you are never sure where to put it. If you post in the specific forum you might not get noticed cos no-one reads it, but someone in the other forum would probably reply.. but they never see it...
The ones with lots of categories are the worst.
Will grit.cx be a subforum or new website?
Apparently there's a minor road race somewhere in the north of England this weekend. Perhaps people want to talk about it.
Ransos, if you mean the Pook's Inaugural Rotherham Roundabout Rollathon there are still places available!!!
Book now!
