MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
For padding out long dull days? Why are you on here?
isn't that what we all use it for?
For me, its the sheer sillyness of the posts that keep me hooked...people's warped sense of humour, the silly squabbles, the outspoken. Oh....and theres a bit to do with actually riding too....what more do you want?

You don't get that 😯 Happens every time I log in 🙂 I hear you get a higher class of raunchiness if you go premium but can't confirm. I'd have to upgrade and send these ones back to find out!
It's like a funny farm in here some days. Very useful if you need to know somthing asap.
I used to ask work related questions on here eg about Autocad, or Excell etc but IT block it these days.
In the early days of my joining STW, it was useful in gaining product information for my numerous bike builds over the years.
How else would I have found out that trail centres were for lameosaurs, the BMW 335d was the only car worth driving and that revolutionary socialism was the right direction for Britain in 2010?
You won't get that on Mumsnet!

Don't forget that there's a baby womble on the way to Leamington too!
it stops me working so hard 🙂
STW knows everything about everything plus if you want, you can poke fun at the ridiculous stuff that goes on inside it and get in pointless arguments and best of all, the STW forum is something you can laugh at continually.
It's the Richard Madeley of the internet.

Try upgrading to Premium membership. Access to the back catalogue isn't the only benefit.
EDIT: "back catalogue" isn't a euphemism btw.
Yes. Very useful.
Very useful and a bit more tolerant than some other forums 😉
Useful ?, USEFUL !.
Nah, more than useful.
Its a lifestyle, innit.
for the insane
😉
Useful for some bike questions. There are a lot of people who seem to know every model variation of every fork for the last ten years or so 😯
On the other hand, there are a few too many people on here who seem to be suffering from an over estimation of their abilities alongside a lot of time to spend here 😆

hehehe
If this place ever becomes 'useful' I'm off!!! 🙂
I thought it was a dating site, what am I doing here? I don't even own a bike!
It's great for venting my middle class middle aged angst..
I love that nearly everybody that uses the forum feels comfortable enough to show their inner Tory with gay and reckless abandon..
I found STW by googling a bike related query but since finding the site I have lost interest in cycling and have sold my bikes so that I can spend more time on here..
I'm actually a nubile 16 year old nymphomaniac who's only on here grooming overweight, bald middle-aged bike nerds with right wing leanings
Binners - interested in non overweight,bald middle-ages bike nerds with no political leanings?
Thought not.
this site provides me with much amusement, all you oldies make me laugh when you argue

lots of people trying to be better than each other
lots of people spouting googles top answers as their own knowledge/opinion
lots of useful advice that gets forgotten when people start fighting over opinions
some very funny people
some epic trolling (mr nutt i still salute you)
its like watching 16 year olds get upset on facebook or back in the day when "top friends" on myspace was more important than life itself.
great fun, the moment i start taking it seriously or stop laughing then i hope i realise and take myself away.
I just come here to look at the adverts.
i come on here for fun.....................and most of the time it is.
i come on here for advice too sometimes.................and that is general very good too.
i come on here to [s]take the piss[/s] talk to some nice likeminded people.

I sometimes wonder how much more productive I'd be if it wasn't for STW. Then I remember there's the rest of the Internet.
Then I remember there's the rest of the Internet.
This morning I twigged that Google Chrome is the most spectacular unproductivity tool there is. Every time you open a new tag, it gives you 8 thumbnails of your most visited websites. Sods law dictates that this ends up being forums, facebook, newspapers, ebay, CRC, so every time you set off to do something, it's effectively asking "Would you like to waste some time?"
Until I came on here I never knew how awesome a BMW 335d was - so that alone has made it all worth while....
God love binners, tears in my eyes 🙂
This forum was good, when Cressers still posted on here.
I have to admit though, I do look here for info on mortgages, washing machines, cars and barely ever bikes!
I've been stuck working at home for the last week after an operation, and it amazes me that anybody actually does any work at all in the STW community. Everybody seems to be permanently logged on, that said all week I've had 2 laptops flashed up on the kitchen table, one for work one for play.
The laughter, the tears, the insanity, the day wouldn't be the same.............
Oh, and what tyres for......
It's good, but it would be better if there weren't so many people who are wrong on so many subjects.
I simply haven't got time to correct them all.
I have had a lot of good info from here about stuff - mainly bikes.
I enjoy a good argument.
So yes - i find it useful
I enjoy a good argument.
No you don't.
Yeh just saved £30 on a new Powermonkey Explorer though a handy code.
Oh hang on a minute I wasn't going to buy one.... that means you've just cost me £35..... buggers
"I enjoy a good argument."No you don't.
thats not an argument - thats just contradiction
i find it useful and have posted some of the most boring crap but have had very helpful replies...
I find it useful, you've helped me with numerous bike queries.
I find it amusing too, and comforting and, when folks who are close to the edge have posted, the support they have received is heartwarming - mostly, there are a few spiteful people on but not many.

That could just as easily describe any pub in the country.
The actual STW mag doesn't make particularly good emergency loo paper. A sotfer, matt, lighter weight paper would help.
^"Back in the day....Myspace...."!!!! Eh??
ononeorange, you're either old enough or young enough to have not experience the wonders of myspace, for this you should be thankful.
More interesting then facebook at least.
I've answered other peoples questions very well in the past so it's certainly helpful for other people. Guess I'm just here because of my charitable good spirit! 😉
Never heard of it, but I am guessing that it's some sort of internet-based shenanigans......
it is indeed some sort of internet-based shenanigans 😀 whilst you're here i'd like to take this opportunity to suggest checking out some sites you might not have heard of:
google
facebook
twitter
stw forum
bike radar
ebay
enjoy 😉
