i just got into biking seriously a few months ago. a friend of mine linked me to BF. i post on a number of other forums, so this is right up my alley.
it's a big board with lots of forums and a lot of members. some post, some don't, some just register to ask a single question then split. that's board life

i'll probably be around for a while. i like all the help and new info i get here, and i like to look at everyone's bikes.
i can't board at work because i'm an elementary teacher, so i only post in the evenings when i'm home.

since the whole reason my wife and i got bikes again was to start commuting, this is the part of the forum i spend most of my time in. i do browse the other ones too, but most of my posting is here.

science!
