I've got Commuting here on BF bookmarked, so it's the first thing that pops up when I visit. But I think I've probably entered at least half of the other sub-forums as well.

I spend more time road cycling that on my commuter bike but I do commute every day since my bike is my car... I love the commuting forum for it seems that people that participate in it have their feet on the ground =)

I like it here, because we tend to, well, actually USE our bikes for something USEFUL, like getting around sans-gasoline.

this sub-forum is definitely my home at BF.net as well. i like it it because, while it definitely has a focus on the specific activity of commuting by bicycle, it seems to be the forum most closely aligned with how i view cycling. to me biking isn't a sport, or a recreation, or a hobby, or an interest, rather it's an all encompassing way of life; it's how i move through and about my world every single day.
i also like this forum because it's not about a specific kind or style of bike. we have people in here commuting on all manner of two wheeled contraptions - race bikes, mountain bikes, touring bikes, vintage bikes, hybrid bikes, cyclocross bikes, single speed bikes, folding bikes, fixed gear bikes, recumbent bikes, cruising bikes, etc.
