Am I noticing a patern???

Ok, (I know I had a part in some of these but) there was the X-mart bike bash thing (several threads), what bike should I get?(still many threads), and the "Whats _____mean?" threads, so I was just wondering what was next before it all loops and we start over again.

This forum's about riding a bike to work. I don't know how varied you can really expect the topics to be.

Also repetition is good, not bad. It's OK to say the same thing over again, each time is fresh and new again maybe with slightly different spin or a few new comments. +1

As notfred said, this is a bike forum and most people come to forums for help.

Lets see:
What bike?
What tires?
What fenders?
Racks or backpacks?
Platform or clipless?
Lycra or pants?
Jersey or shirts?
Helmet or no helmet?
Gloves?
Cotton or Polypro or Wool?
First time commuter
First\second\third\etc week\month\year of commute
Flats: prevention, how long/often
Frame pumps, mini pumps, floor pumps
Sun block
Mountain or Road shoes?

And thats just what I remembered in the past 2 minutes. But I'm not complaining. If these threads never gets repeated this will be a pretty dead forum.

Long live the repetitiveness.

Then there are the obligatory posts complaining about those complaining. Resulting in another post noting that some others are complaining about others complaining.
