I amnewbie to this forum and the cycling world. I have found this forum VERY HELPFUL!!!!


But I want to know how many of you will admit to spending more time on this forum than actually biking.

I probably do. I have family priorities that severly limit my bike time, so I get a bike fix at this forum. But I won't admit it.

Oops, I just did.


Never mind.......

I'm online more than I'm biking, but I'm not sure if I'm on bikeforums more than I'm biking. I visit bikeforums frequently but I think actual time spent on the bike and actual time on bikeforums is probably pretty close.

I spend a fair bit of time here, but it doesn't eat in to my cycling time.

I'm never here when I could be biking. Only when I could be working ;).

Me too. I can waste time dreaming, reading, and writing about biking while at work. But I can't ride.

I spend less time on the forum than on a bike.

Biking:

1-2hrs M-F
5-7hrs Sat/Sun

Forum - 1-2hrs M-F, Sat - 3hrs, Sun - usually not on at all.

I easily spend more time on here than on my bike...it's been raining cats and dogs, and to be honest, I can't ride my bike 5 hours a day so I spend time on here and various other forums, but I still love riding :D

Since I can post from work but can not ride at work....maybe not more overall time, but definately more times per week!

The time on the Forum versus riding?? The time spent probably "evens out" in the long run!!

Since I ride almost every day...even if it's just the commute...I will be on the bike about 45 minutes or so a weekday (more if I choose the "long way home" :D ). Any other riding :love: would also be done FIRST!

If it's really bad weather out...or after I have returned from getting my bike "fix"...I'll be here!! ;)

(Not all the time...I am on some other forums, bike or otherwise, too. I love Bikeforums the best...hands down!!:beer: The "other" forums are more for info.--and discussion of non-bike topics.)

Why do you think I ended up becoming my own IT Department, anyhow?? The "care and feeding" of the PC is not exactly my favorite task, y'know! :p
