Howdy from Bicure in Noo Yawk
 

I just posted my first post, and I hafta tell ya: I've never seen an internet forum where EVERY single reply to an OP was polite, thoughtful and civil!! :eek:

Where have youse all been all my freakin' life, yo?

I ride a heavy steel Chicago-built Schwinn that I had modified from a clunky 5-speed to a super-clunky cruiser. (Yo.)

And if the thread I just posted to is any indication of the high quality of this forum, I think I'm gonna like it here!

:) :)

Hi Bicure, I just read your post and enjoyed it very much!

Now, as to where we have been all your life--that depends on how old you are. I think Joe Gardner started Bike Forums in 1999 :) .

Hey, if you have a Chicago-built Schwinn, take pics and say hi to us in the Classic & Vintage forum.

And you need to check out Foo:

You are a Foo kinda guy.

Welcome to BF!

There certainly are some really good people on BikeForums. We also have some fantastic moderators that really do a great job of walking the thin line between censorship and civility! They really take care of business.

Welcome to BikeForums! :)

... Brad

Thank you both so much!

I'll check out the Foo, EH!

AND cool goggles like yours, bac!

I think you will enjoy Foo!
