2009 here but to be honest I was very much a Bikemagic forum browser and didn't really discover this places unique delights until the magic forums all died.
2004 for me, because that's when I started uni & bought my first computer.
Found the forum after buying issue 8. MBUK started to get really boring around then 7 I'd been reading Chip's work since MTB Pro & MTB World.
I was here before STW was even an idea.
ScotRider, NoSpokes and then WorldClassAccident once I earned the name
Says 2010 on my profile. Lurker before that though. 2010 would make me eat relative newbie.
Long time lurker since issue 2, I may have been on the ride from Hope listed on that forum archive page!
This site made me buy an Inbred, I think it was mandatory back then.
Yer not far wrong! I ended up buying two. Still got them out in the shed, I must stop procrastinating, get myself some d3o soft knee protection*, get them out of the shed, bleed the brakes, clean the dust off and clean the tyres out and put new sealant in.
I’ll probably ride the 853 Singlespeed mostly, it’s more suited to freewheeling downhill and pushing uphill…
*Due to needing something to protect my knees after the bike dumped me on the ground and messed my knee up forever. ☹️
Think I’ve been here since around 2008 but I’m not a very prolific poster as I dip in and out of my love for cycling , since starting running.
Ages and been on rides with a few people on that archive list.
Since forever - at least 2002 - my bike handling skills have not improved since 🙁
Since 03 / 04 (maybe before then). Same user name throughout.
2009 and still flogging stuff on the classifieds 🙂
2009 it says on my profile. Can’t remember if I was here pre hack!
Since GoFar & dial up internet .. founding mag subscriber .. without us there wouldn't be one 😉 ... not here much these days, but always nice to know that some of us are still around.

I'm another GoFar user back when I was at uni and my blog was part of the ShitShifter blog ring. I was one of the 5 issues for a tenner subscribers - I think issue 5 in the archive is a scan of my copy because they lost the original files?
I think my daughter is now older than I was when I started posting here!
