Clydesdale Forum is Refreshing
Fellow Clydesdales,
I just wanted to let all of my fellow Clyde’s know that I really appreciate the Clydesdale forum! I’ve been a member of the BF for quite some time and used to spend most of my time on the road cycling forum. Over the last couple of years the road cycling forum seemed to gravitate towards people making snide remarks in response to many posts and just looking to wage war with other participants. I actually quit scanning the BF for quite a while and then the Clydesdale forum started.
I just wanted to share with you that I find it very refreshing to see the comradely and support offered on this forum. You guys have regained my interest in the BF and I’m glad to be back.
Just thought I would let you know….

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Yep, we're trying to put together a tightly unified, but open and welcoming community here.

We might be big, but we can pull the whole pack is what it really means.

Remember they are a bunch of skinny little stick figures that'd blow away in a light breeze!

I dont know if IBM used the same marketing slogan over there
"Slim might be in

The only thing IBM has done that I have ever appreciated.

Some of us may ride $3k plus bikes but that is not the point... my point is the people participating in the Clydesdale forum appear to be more interested in sharing experiences and knowledge as well as providing support for others and they have a place to brag about personal accomplishments. It seems to be more of a community and I like it that way

yeah I get snarky fromtime to time but I really like that my advice and everyone else's is respected here and almost no two bits of experience are the same
