There still must be tons of lurkers out there not posting.

Nice to see a thread from the old Procycling forum still in the database.

There are. I had a look in the members list a while back and there are also loads of folk registered, but with a post count of '0'. :?

Heavymental, I'm surprised that you didn't recognise JDFyfe. That's what caught my attention, even before I opened the thread.

I read this forum everyday without logging in. Does that make me a lurker. If so. Im sorry. Im not very interesting you see, so I have nothing to say most of the time. So I don't bother logging in to say nowt.
Anyway, thanks for all the interesting stuff on here.

I doubt that. If you post about cycling, as Stefanos says, it'll be of interest to someone. When I first started posting I had the impression that everyone else were better cyclists, had more knowledge and did far more interesting things than me. Therefore, I figured that I had nothing to contribute. But the forum's a community and is as much about sharing experience as it is about the shared experience - even the mundane.

Don't be, Dibdab. We're a pretty easy-going bunch in here. [whisper] and nobody'll know that you're shy from a post[/whisper]

Congrats on the 65 miles. Next stop the Race Across America, eh? Have you been building up the mileage for any particular reason? Any sportives in your sights or anything?


Incidently, how did an aged thread from Procycling end up in here?

I didn't notice the author but yeh, now you mention it he's an old face. Also quite embarrassing is the fact that I never noticed it was JD Fyfe til you typed it as above. I always just read it as a jumble of letters! In my head I always pronounced it 'judfufe' when I saw that name! :oops:

Thanks for the advice.
Hopefully I'll get my post count up a bit more.

Hi crapaud,

I'm trying to get to 100 miles thats all, no sportives or anything like that [i've got a competetive level of 0]
I got stuck on 50 so yesterday was a real boost, i know i had an extra 10 - 15 miles in me
but my shorts didn't :shock: the credit cards comming out today

I feel like a lurker at the moment - taking a new job in November has thrown my whole life / internet balance out of whack. B*stards...

Oh right....I see...you dredged it up from back in the day! Like online archaeology!

Archeology? This thread was so old it must have been reconstructed from a fragment of its DNA. How does anyone even find something so old to post on?

Some people are natural born lurkers.

I used to be a bit of a regular in the old days - when this site was cyclingplus. Now I merely lurk, and even then only occasionally.

I'll admit ive been lurking.

I only joined before xmas and then got quite ill so wasnt riding, during the last 3 months I have been reading most of the road and commuting forums daily to get my bike fix.
