Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Can we PLEASE

put up a sticky thread with the links to threads concerning which new bike to purchase, how to pick a saddle, which shoes to buy, how many wheels a bicycle has and all the other issues that noobs ask every day so we can just point new noobs to it?

Either that or I suggest mass suicide.

Thank You

Charlie that would effectively kill BF. Then again, the gun threads are doing a fine job as well.

Been suggested a million times, as well as possibly a FAQ. There was talk of a wiki before Joe sold to IB, don't know if it is still in the works.

Many other forums I've seen have a simple and effective policy: Read this before you post a simple question.

i tried doing an FAQ but people here seem to not care as much about helping new cyclist as they are about OCP.

It's the big one called "ROAD CYCLING." It even has a separate section for racing.

Not all of us that can see the vaule in a BD bike are shills. BD discussions are just as relevant here as those of any other manufacturer.

There are new bikes, new saddles, new shoes, new wheels coming out every week. This changes which bike, saddle, shoes and wheel's I want to buy. This is a live discussion forum. Not a FAQ site.
