Strange Things Found On Your Commute

Making your bike glow down the road


We can add to this as we go, and this can help keep the top of the forum from getting overwhelmed with stickies.

Respectfully, i don't like this I used the stickies all the time and this seems to be way less convenient, easy and entertaining

Squirtdad, I*'m trying to streamline the stickies, while still keeping them accessible. This opens up more area for new posts and still having them available. It's easy enough to go back, but give it a chance and you may come to like this better in the long run.

I don't get why Strange Things Found On Your Commute is a sticky but also appears outside of this new thing. Oh wait, do they all?

Tom,

I understand the desire to keep from sticking everything, but I'd keep a couple of them still...

I'd advocate for re-sticking the Commute Today and the Mileage Challenge threads.

Just my $0.02
Thanks

Recommend that you return to "stickying" the Commuter Bicycle Pics page. that's really the only reason I come to this subforum, the bike porn.

I am stuck on stickies,
cuz stickies are stuck on me. :D

I nominate the following thread to this index...

Night Commuting Tips

Tom, it would be nice to see at a glance what threads have new posts since I last visited.

Thanks!

How about:

The Commuting For Trade Thread

Yes, why is it a sticky and some others that get way more attention are no longer sticky?

I really like consolidating the stickies into here, since I basically only use one of them all. I am finding two issues though: 1) when I click the link it opens a new window (maybe that's a setting in my browser? I don't think so, though) and 2) it goes to the first page rather than the last. Thanks for working on streamlining this, for sure!

I agree, why is 'Commuting For Trade' a sticky?? Personally I have zero interest in that one but I like to check 'Commuter Bicycle Pics' often....

Tom, I have given it a while before I chipped in with my $0.02, but here it is. I would like to see the mileage thread and bike pics thread stickied :)

I like this forum, it doesnt seem to need much moderation, mostly because of the people who come here, and in part because the moderaters do it so well.

Hate it, and didn't think the forum was especially crowded at the top.

In this case, you're solving a non-existent problem.

It's now been three months like this, and I don't like it better. Anyone else? I'd love to see the How was the commute today thread, the mileage thread, the Strange Things thread, and the Pics thread stickied again. The Advice thread I wouldn't bother with, since nobody reads it and noobs just start their own threads anyway.

I agree my ride home is pretty much always past dusk, i read through that thread and learned a lot. Thanks K'Tesh for linkin me up!

I liked it the way it was before, too.

Are we there yet?

Still liked it more before...

I'm with azesty on this... it was better before the change

I hate sticky threads personally and think they take away from the forum especial going from page to page. I like the idea of consolidating them into 1 thread to open up the real estate on the forum

Can we do all or nothing on this? Right now we've got some stickies, and some in the consolidated thread.

Either way, thanks Tom for posting; good stuff here.

A tip for those displeased with the Sticky Thead: Use the Bookmark feature of your browser to access your favorite stickies. Especially if using a smartphone. One click gets you right where you want to be every time - directly.

Not that anyone cares, but I am enjoying not having to scroll past a dozen stickies when using my phone to visit BF.

Are there some good threads which could be made sticky about preparing a bike for Winter commuting? I'm a fair-weather commuter but I'm looking into what I will need bike-wise to change that.

In my humble opinion, sticky threads should only be related to forum rules and important announcements from the management. They should include “frequently asked questions” about various aspects of forum so new users (and users returning after a long time) can easily orient themselves.

By making any other thread sticky, a sense of higher value is attached to that topic, which may or may not be interesting to most readers.

If the majority of readers/posters value certain threads greatly, surely one of the poster will bump it up the list if it starts dropping down.

Just a thought…
