I agree. I'm not sure I would be riding as much as I am (will be, when my knee is up to it - must post a thread about that later) if not for this forum. While I feel more welcome in some parts of BF than in others, I always know these communities are there if I want to dive in to, say, fixies or BMX (even though I can't imagine why I could possibly be interestedin either, but ya never know).
