Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.coasting

The number of threads has become so short that it is having a very bad impact on the tone and usefulness of Bike Forums.
Previously, threads became conversations with multiple participants and stayed relevant for longer and gave more people a chance to contribute, sometimes after it seemed nothing more interesting can be said. Now, a thread is a few initial participants exchanging brief initial views and then ending as it falls from the first page.
This makes Bike Forums less of a community and more of a notice board. Ultimately it makes people less likely to stick around.
