Ladies and gentlemen, I understand the desire of many of you to speak out at this time when pressing issues are confronting all of us. But we must keep in mind that this is a cycling forum, and although on many occasions we might feel the urge to stray toward discussing social issues or even what we had for dinner last night, you must resist the urge and rein it in. Just because Strava decided to make a statement on current social events does not mean that topic qualifies for discussion here. Please keep the discussions strictly on cycling content, that’s what we all come here for and that’s the way management intends it to be. Thank you for your cooperation.

I’m going to make an effort to remove the off-topic posts and allow the thread to remain open. However if the discussion drifts off-topic again we will have no choice but to close it for good.
