Just curious. When I log in, I come here first, then check Road Cycling, next Training & nutrition and finish with general cycling.

Here and general. I occasionally visit other forums, but only if a title catches my eye.

edit: Oops, here, recumbents and general. How could I forget that one?

I usually check the NorCal and Pac.NW regional forums (I spend my time in both regions), then look into A&S (especially if there is something from CBHI, Genec or RandyA) and finally get to 50+. If I still want more, I'll look into touring, road, car-free, tandem and commuting. Each forum seems to have its own personality and personalities. It even seems like people change their own tone depending on which forum they are posting in.

I should spend more time on other forums. 98% of the time I am on Road Cycling.

C&V mostly, then Fifty+, and for fun/dream potential Touring. Also Tandems occasionally because I rebuilt a C&V tandem but haven't had much chance to ride.

Currently bike mechanics, 50+, recumbents, tandems, general.

I used to visit road bikes and fixed gear a lot but I've lost interest in them. There are a couple of forums that I've wondered what they'd ever find to post about but I haven't been curious enough to go look.

50+, long distance, tandem(looking for a stoker), road,
for recumbents, I go to bentrideronline.com

Foo, jokes, 50+. Sometimes A&S. I used to like Lighting and gadgets, but the demographic seems awfully young. I'm a fixed gear rider, but I don't post in SS & fixed gear, Demographic Waaaayyy too young. It's a language I just don't speak, apparently. 50+ is the best.

50+, Long Distance, Touring, General, Road, Foo, Banned Users, Clydesdale, and Tandem Cycling.

Only this one, because we are a community and the moderators tolerate some off-topic banter. I used to visit Touring but only rarely now.

50+, Road Cycling, General Cycling, Foo...in the winter I also frequent Winter Cycling, if I have a problem I ask in Bicycle Mechanics (and usually get an answer suprisingly quickly...like, within a few minutes!), and periodically I visit the Recumbent forum. I don't own a 'bent, I just have a perverse curiosity about those bikes.

my main focus is the So Cal Regional and then P & R. After that, if I have time (which I usually dont) I go to C & A, 50+, Foo and really occasionally the women's forum and mountain biking. Some I have never been in... I guess I should check out everything... when and if I get time.

Oh yeah... for some reason - I like to check out banned users. It's perverted I know!

Come to 50+ and read through it. Then I'll go to Classic & Vintage followed by Road forum. By far 50+ is my favorite and must visit forum.

Where do you do this?

Last sub-section - NEWS & ANNOUCEMENTS - first forum (news and annoucements). It alway hurts to see someone I "know" get banned!

I read much more than I post, so -Women's, So Cal, C&V, ...sometimes A&S, Hybrid, General, Commuting, Foo, 50+, Mechanics. I browse the "new posts" and see what looks interesting.

I also read other bike websites/forums, too, especially pertaining to Los Angeles.

*Oh yeah Carfree, Utility and Touring...:)

I heart BF
