General Cycling Discussion - Cyclocross and Hybrid section?

Prolly gonna get flailed for this.....
To me these two bike types are bastard children of road and mountain bikes. So why not just expand the current Cyclocross section and include Hybrids? :innocent:
It's unfair to have a Cyclocross section all to its own since it is nothing more than a road bike with mtb orientation.

Cyclocross is a sport

You must have not been hanging out at the Commuting section have you? :lol:

People who use Cyclocross bikes have little in common with people who use hybrids.

I hope that wasn't your best idea of the day.

Sort of like pairing-up basketball players with stamp-collectors...hmmmm.....what a bizarre idea. :lol:

Hmmm... I guess I only saw it from a piece of object perspective instead of rider's mentality. :)

I`d say most of us are, but we are not the same, right?

>> To me these two bike types are bastard children of road and mountain bikes.

Cross bikes pre-date mtbs... And as already pointed out, cross is a sport.

I got it! How 'bout a Bastard Section for loozers on Bastard Bikes who all the Haters, Roadies, and assorted Big Meanies are allegedly picking on because or their choice in bicycling equipment?

You missed the mark completely.

define hybrid :p

Only to those who are insecure.... ;) One can always hide in the Hybrid section. J/K... Congrats on the new section.

The commuting section comment just for the benefit of those who does not venture there, is Cyclocross is often the choice for commuters.

define hybrid :p

Your profile picture is one :twitchy: .

define hybrid :p

I give you the grandfather of all hybrids. I call him simply, Dave.

Commuting makes perfect sense.

A ton of commuters ride hybrids.

Another ton of commuters ride cyclocross bikes.

Another ton ride road bikes.

Just a second. What am I trying to say here?

Aww hell. Let's just get rid of all the specialty forums and just call the one whole shebang Bike Forums.

That's pretty much what I do anyway. I just click on "new posts" and read ones with interesting subject lines, regardless of what "forum" they were posted in.
