Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Today is a new day in regards to moderation in the 'road bike' section of BF.

All threads in the 'road bike' section will be directly related to road cycling. Directly related.
There will be a zero tolerance policy to name calling.
There will be a zero tolerance policy towards disrespectfulness
All posts in a thread should pertain to the thread at hand.
If you have a question about 'moderation' it must be done in private via PM.

Why is this happening? Simply because too many members are commenting that they dont feel welcome in a variety of the forums.

Being polite, cordial and friendly is easy. Being nasty, sarcastic and contributing nonsense takes effort.

If you havent noticed there's a new sticky in regards to the new policy. While reading, you'll notice the 'new style' has been approved at the highest levels.

Feel free to contact me via PM if you have any questions.

Well tell me where this raod section is so I will be sure to avoid it. And congrats into begging your way into moderator status.

What's a 'super' moderator?

Where's the Kryptonite when you need it?

So we complain about moderation, and you make it even stricter? The moderators don't have a stake in this community other than it makes their bosses money. Where is the homegrown feel?

I think this is the damning proof that the Mods are all witches. How do you burn somebody at the stake on the Internet?

A Fred gun would have a small rearview mirror clipped to the barrel.
