What category & sub category do you fall under?
What category & sub category do you fall under?
I have always considered my Primary category to be a Commuter because that is the primary purpose of my bicycle. My primary bicycle for the job is my Trek hybrid so that has always been my sub category. I recently bought a road bicycle & I am now seen as a roady I guess even though I have never been in that forum. So my question stands as to What is your Primary category and What are your sub categories
Primary (Commuter)
Sub (Hybrid)
(General)
(Touring / century)
(50 plus)

Primary; Commuting. Secondary; Clydesdales & Athenas (200+ lb / 91+ kg). Tertiary: Hybrid Bicycles. Quaternary: Winter Cycling. I ordered them based on the number of personal posts/started threads per sub-forum. I've occasionally looked in other sub-forums like Bicycle Mechanics or Recreational & Family when I've had a specific question. I also check the Eastern Canada sub-forum in the Regional Discussions forum when planning routes, bicycle trips, etc. or when looking for a part locally.

Primarily Commuting, I love the diversity of all the bikes and people here. It has a great cross section of mechanics, lighting experts, DIY'ers, fitness/trainers, all weather year rounders, Urban riders, winter bikers, and everything else you can think of.
My Sub forum would be Clydesdale's and Athena's. So many inspirational, friendly, and helpful people.
I browse other forums but rarely post.

And yet, all four of my bikes are road bikes and the vast majority of the time, I'm lycra-clad.

99% of my time on BF is spent in the Commuting section. It's not that I don't like the other sections, it's just that there is so much volume on BF that I can only read a small percentage of it before I have to go do something else. So I prioritise

By time spent thinking about it (and probably money spent):
1. Cyclocross racing
2. Recreational road riding
3. Commuting
By miles accumulated or days undertaken:

My cycling style is very broad and includes many different types of riding. Commuting, long distance riding,mountain biking, joy riding...I am a singlespeed/fixed gear rider at heart, I just love it. I only post in commuting and winter forums.

The question has less to do with where you post than is does to do with where you categorize yourself. I rarely post in most of my subcategories but it is my interest. I tend to spend more time reading than posting.

My Forums are mainly (daily) Commuting, Fifty Plus, Road Cycling, and General Cycling. I'll soon add Winter Cycling. About weekly, or ad lib I read Advocacy & Safety, Living Car Free, Long Distance Cycling, Touring, Training, and the Northeast and Great Lakes Regional Forums.
My self-chosen cycling nickname is the "The Road Warrior."

In terms of frequency I'm a commuter first, semi-roadie second. I really enjoy the camaraderie of the group I ride with. I've also competed some but nothing too hard core. I often wear spandex but not racing or club kit. I sort of walk the line. I don't want to feel too out of place on the club rides or on the city streets.
I also enjoy offroad rides and I think it would be a hoot to try some cyclocross.

90% of my commute I do using different bikes.
I do centuries, cross.mtb,and utility all four seasons.
I just consider myself a pedaller.
