In the short time ive been on here this group C/A seems to be growing ridiculously fast. There are New folks posting daily..this is great! Hopefully when we our recognised by the cycling world there will be alot more in store stuff instead of custom made for the big folks...welcome all.:thumb:

It's growing because Mr. Beanz is a chick magnet. If you take him out of the equation everything would be pretty static.

I concur, it's really great to have been here since day 1, and see how this group is growing.
That being said, however, I wish some of my favorites would return. Rollerdavem, Jumbo Rider, Hambone and others to name a few are missed!

Well.....hopefully we are shrinking ;p
I'm new here as well too. 6ft 275lbs. 1/2 way through my first commute to work, we'll see if I make it the 7 miles home. Knees can't take running, and I loved biking as a kid so I thought I would try it again. Loving it so far, and been taking my 7yo out on weekend trips to the bike trails. Its been great.

Yep... there for a while, we knew most of the posters. Now, it's someone new everyday!
Just like the LBS here. Everybody is wanting to commute, ride RAGBRAI, or lose weight.

I know that I'm shrinking. Since I started lurking this forum, and bike commuting, (IIRC was in late 2006) I've shrunk around 40 pounds.

I think clyde/athena is great. As it has grown I think we need to elect a president of clyde/athena. I nominate Gina Beanz and her sidekick Mr Beanz as first lady.
Nominations should exclude mods (sorry Tom) to avoid any risk of vote rigging.

Seems like a good place, more in the reading and question asking mode right now, but hopefully soon I can have some good tales of my riding exploits once I do something interesting enough for the folks here :D

Another newbie. Hello, I'm 6'2" 275lb. , I'm in upstate New York, in the mountains so hills are all we got here (FUN) trying to lose weight. I'm ordering a Motobecane Fantom CX from bikesdirect.com as soon as I get my stimulus check, cant wait! Anybody else in the southern Catskills?

And there was a faucet in the bathroom right? Complimentary.
