It's a chat forum. Bike forum is for bikes.

Don't look at it then. If you want just bike chat then just go to that forum. Or is that too hard ?

To be honest, I'm only still here because of the people. I'm bored of bikes. Riding bikes, talking about bikes, dreaming about bikes. My wife woke me up last night cos I was pedalling in my sleep (true).

I only use the combined view, all about bikes would be dull too, but I was struck by the high proportion of unbikey topics 🙁

I don't have time to search out appropriate forums for the random and fleeting things that skitter through my mind on a daily basis........

So 22 out of 40 posts in the chat forum are about bikes. If all the bike forum posts are about bikes then about 75% of all posts on a bike website forum are about bikes?

I'm spending more time in the Chat Forum these days cos I get so many replies to my 'bimbo' posts. 😀

Was this thread posted by a certain Mr Barnes who constantly iterates that he's not interested in bikes?

I hardly ever go on the bike forum. I could do so more often, since there are some worthy topics about biking rather than just 'what headset' etc.

this thread should be removed because of its irrelevance.

sfb, 26 of the last 40 threads you have posted on have been in the chat forum.
In terms of topics started, you're doing a lot better- 30 out of the last 40 were in the bike forum.

thanks. I always use the combined page and never look at the icon which says which forum it's on. Usually I enjoy the mix of T and OT, but I noticed when so many posts were about cars or prams or footie and other tedious un bike related chatter!

Can I just say, even thought it's possibly irrelevant to this conversation about irrelevance, that I like bimbos.

I don't go on the bike forum much because I don't buy much bike stuff!

If there is a problem with none riding threads, then the chat forum needs to go, and people will then still post the none bike, none riding threads in the bike forum, result, chat would be back in a few weeks.

When people are out riding, how much time is spent talking about life, how much solely spent talking about bikes & riding? I've ridden with people who insist that they've beaten Steve Peat on their "unique" Dawes, and that "you can ride on footpaths", yet take the conversation off biking and they are socially inept. I'd prefer to ride with people who have a life away from biking and can hold a reasonable conversation - -bit like using the forum.
