Philk Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Following from the thread that justa started I thought it might be helpful to understand why we are here.I looked at various sites, and this was the only family oriented and least judgmental of the ones I looked at.This was important because I am now riding with my son. So biking is not just about me going out and being a hooligan biking has a new dimension now for me.The other thing about this site was the friendly approach to newbies to biking. very helpful and again non judgmental.Finally I liked that there were so many female members. a sure sign the neanderthals havn't taken over.I have put up a poll as well but its quite limited. I hope it reflects the initial reason for joining this site. I take it as a given that we all appreciate a social belonging we get from this site, and am just interested in the reasons for joining.

chicane Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I think one thing flows from the other and its just such a wonderful, friendly, supportive site, with plenty of rideouts and events going on. I think the fact that there are so many women on here (think its about 50:50) has a big part to play in the atmosphere of this site and why its so unique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susieque Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Have voted on the last one, but I too would say the last 3 apply really.But I agree with chic about the population of the site - friendship, help, humour etc all go towards making it kind of unique. Anything else that comes out of being a member is a bonus!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
