Compared with some, its quite a relaxed forum, with most members having a reasonable sense of humour (aye, even the English folk! :wink:)
It also isn't totally overmoderated like certain forums I could mention, such as Weight( USETHESEARCHFUNCTION!!!)Weenies, or over parochial, like the London chat room that is bikeradar.
In fact, if we could just get rid of the middle aged I.T. geeks, it'd be perfect 🙂

Populated by a relaxed and generally nice set of people.

Via the Forum I have met a rode with loads of top people who I now count as friends (met one of my regular 2 weekly rides buddies through STW).

Ace place for advise on Routes, Conditions of routes and anything bike related. The depth of general knowledge on here is also amazing.

Also, it makes me laugh.

If you think that was a good ride you should have been out on the Bramble Whisky and Mocha ride. Skipping past the veggie soup flavoured hot blackcurrant.

57. It's actually not that scary/ anti-social. Some forums are v snobbish ("oh, you got that wrong, you prole"), but here you can ask a slightly dumb question and people will give a reasonably helpful answer
62. You can ask pretty much anything - bike things, tyre questions, Abi Titmuss, camper vans and so on and it's fair game.
34. There's a massive mix of people: not everyone lives in the peaks and goes riding 5 days a week.
95. There's actually women on the forum, which makes it a bit more interesting.
1. It can be frickin funny - see the Drs and Nurses thread from today. 🙂

Because every time I meet someone off here they're good value and then we have to eat cake. Riding bikes can be involved, but that's optional.
