How do you use BF?

Lately I've been using my iPhone almost exclusively to read and post. I'd love to see a mobile version of bf.net

I use Classic & Vintage and the Mechanics forum to gain knowledge. I use the Classic & Vintage forum to impart knowledge.

I use the Road forum to fry my brain and for humiliation because we all know everyone here tells the truth when it comes to how far and how fast they can ride.

I use the MTB forum so I can learn a foreign language.

Seriously. How immediate is this information?

Checking a forum while you're in the car is for lonely people.

I use it mainly for entertainment, to gleen misguided medical advice, catch the occasional half-baked physics lesson, learn why to covet the Cervelo and loathe the Trek and see how some people that have taken EGN 3000 automatically turn into a PE.

A small screen does not do justice to the fountain of self-loathing and humiliation that is the road forum. That's sort of like watching Avatar on a tiny airline movie screen.

I read BF on the same color-calibrated high-res monitor I use for editing my images. Anything less would be improper.

I occasionally browse on my iphone when I'm at work. It can be slow, because of the ads that take so long to load (yes, I know the red star folks don't see ads). Posting on my iphone is next to impossible unless I check the "keep me logged in box". Otherwise, messages just disappear...

A mobile version would be welcome, but the inevitable bugs that would have to be worked out make me shudder.

Yeah, but the person who got shot will probably get the purple heart. Just a guess. Purple bike would be cooler =)
