i also like this forum because it's not about a specific kind or style of bike. we have people in here commuting on all manner of two wheeled contraptions - race bikes, mountain bikes, touring bikes, vintage bikes, hybrid bikes, cyclocross bikes, single speed bikes, folding bikes, fixed gear bikes, recumbent bikes, cruising bikes, etc.
Very well stated! I agree completely. This forum shows that it isn't about having the "right" gear, clothes, etc. People give knowledgeable recommendations and suggestions here without looking down their noses at potential new commuters.
