Just curious
Who here never ventures out of the 50+ forum? Or rather, who does and which other sections of Bike Forums do you visit?

I venture into the Clydes, the Rec and family, regional Rocky mtn forum and very occasionally Advocacy. Many years ago I was a regular in the Roadie forum, but it has changed and is very domminated by a few folks . . . . .

I have over 1100 posts in the twitter thread in road bike racing. I used to stay mostly in the road forum but it just isn't as good as it once was. The SoCal regional forum was pretty happening at one time but a few jerks chased away a lot of the regulars and they actually started another forum.
I have gone to C&V, those guy are cool but I don't want to start collecting more bikes.
I've posted in the mtb forum but haven't had enough response or interaction there.
I've also posted in Clydesdale a bit, some very sweet people there.
50+ is cool and I hope to post here for a while.

Tandems because I drive one. Long Distance and Randonneurs because that's what I do. Regional Discussions, particularly Western Canada and Pac NW, and whatever region I plan to travel to in order to get info. I ride a fixie/single-speed, but I don't even bother looking at that group. Way too much attitude. I like 50+ because of the lack of attitude. There's no social pressure to conform; you people are all true individuals. I guess attitude and the pressure to conform (especially when it looks like non-conformity and punk rebellion, which I just have to laugh at!) is something youngsters who attain maturity are able to grow out of. And if they can grow out of it without turning into ossified reactionary old geezers, so much the better.

I dabble in Mountain Bikes and since I've built a "road hybrid", I also check out Hybrids. I sometimes take a "vitural tour" in touring and dream of those kind of rides and being without a CAR, Car Free too!

Touring, Road, C&V, commuting, sometimes Bike Mechanics and Electronics, Long Distance.
edit - I forgot - I read "our" regional sub-forum, Pacific NW, pretty religiously. It's probably 80% Seattle and Washington focused; we get the occasional Oregonian chiming in but I think Oregon cyclists must go some other place (there are some good online sites for Oregon cyclists).

After this forum, C&V, occasionally Mechanics, and Electronics, with a rare wistful visit to Touring and journals.

Road Forum - I will post if I can add some value others have missed.
Racing Forum - Read and post occasionally.
Track Forum - It is pretty dead but read and post if I can help.
Training and Nutrition - Read and post occasionally.
Tandem - Read and post... I found BF when searching for tandem information. I post and read that forum less and less due to Santana brand bashing.
Regional - Read and post

50+ and Folding Bikes are my main hangouts. After that, Living Car Free and Northern California. Sometimes there is an interesting thread in General Cycling or Commuting, and I have to admit I do read Advocacy & Safety on a regular basis, though I seldom post there. It's one of those things that's like a train wreck, you just can't look away. Occasionally I poke around in other parts of the forum too.

50+ is my favorite followed by Commuting but I look at Car Free, Utility, Touring, Long Distance, Folding, General, and Cyclecross. I have also asked a question or two in Mechanics. I have picked up some very useful things from touring, long distance, and folding. I like the Cyclecross forum because those people are crazy but do it without being obnoxious. We don't have a Hawaii region but I wish there was one. When I'm off my meds I spend time in P&R and Trollheim.
