Just had a look about on t'interweb at some other commuting bike forums, they seem to be quite boring and about bikes, commutes, air horns and cameras - who'da thunk.....nothing quite compares to the range of personalities on this forum and the range of topics and perspectives.

One in particular seems to have allot of topics nicked from this forum! The scumbags; may they burn in the fires of Hades for a day or two.

Chapeau to all of you

Carry on :-)

    Why were you looking at other bike forums? I'm sure Mrs GTVLusso wouldn't be too impressed if you started looking at other women and you would be punished (sleeeping in the spare room/on the sofa) even if you told her she was easily the best woman in the world.

    As punishment maybe you should be made to frequent Commuting General for a while?
    FCN 3: Raleigh Record Ace fixie-to be resurrected sometime in the future
    FCN 4: Planet X Schmaffenschmack 2- workhorse
    FCN 9: B Twin Vitamin - winter commuter/loan bike for trainees

    I'm hungry. I'm always hungry!

  • Used to read a certain america-centric commuting forum but last month the works firewall decided to block it! This one still works though, wonder why? Would have thought the 'Girls in lycra shorts' thread would be enough to kill it stone dead.

    Sod the solitary confinement, thats too soft. Make GTV ride a £99 full suspension BSO on his commute :twisted:
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    This is the happy medium forum. I dip into another couple. One is a similar news and reviews site and it is like Harrogate on half day closing. Genteel & stone dead. The other seems to attract the kind of people that just like shouting at each other whatever the topic.

    I worked out I've made in the region of 20,000 forum posts all told over the last 10/11 so yes there are some other forums out there. This is the only one I've posted on in about six months or so - a couple of others I used to post on I glance at now and then like overclockers which has a few people from here on it, avforums as well.
