Reading through posts since I joined I get the impression that there was some kind of fight between a group of others who went away and may or may not have started another bike forum.

What's that all about?
Giant Escape M1....
Penny Farthing
Unicycle
The bike the Goodies rode
Pogo Stick
Donkey on Roller skates.......OK I'm lying, but I am down to one bike right now and I feel bad about it,

    duh!

    took me ages to decipher that, despite it's cousin GPWM being one of my more overused phrases (F2F though, not often written....)

    Yes we know. But what happened? :shock:

    I was around (under the name Striker) when this place was called Cycling+. There was a mass exodus triggered off by the mods banning one of the long time members for posting something which I cannot recall. They ended up in a forum set up by another disgruntled ex-forum member. As far as I know, that then resulted in another mass exodus, for reasons I do not know, to another cycling forum.

    That's the extent of my knowledge. Not much help really.
