My BF is jealous that I have this forum and wants to know where the guys can go!
I didnt want to hurt his feelings and tell him that no guy site could be as cool as this group of gals with such passion and knowledge for cycling ;)
Anyway he wanted me to ask.
Bikeforums.net is pretty guy-centric.
We do have guys on this forum ... they just have to play nice in the sandbox.
as for guy specific issues, what she said:

Thanks! I will have him check it out. I browsed there and found a charity ride in Nov not too far from me. Good stuff!
The answer is lots of places.
they're out there, ask Mr. Google
Try Bikejournal. Its co-ed, and you can even log your miles there and give them to TE as your club.
Its more guy centric than here, but not a bad place, and well, its more suitable for guys.
+1 to bikejournal.
Fried Quads is also co-ed, has a cycling section, and is 'nicer' that Bikeforums.
http://www.friedquads.com
My husband has a roaring good time at BikeJournal and he's always mystified that I'm not over there all the time too.
Roadbikereview.com has pretty good forums, though it occasionally resembles a frat house :p I spent some time on bikeforums.net, but it wasn't for me....
He can just come here of course!Quote:

I usually hang out in the Commuting Forum at both places.Quote:

BikeJournal.com comes about the closest to the community spirit, without a lot of adolescent testosterone being sprayed about.
Bicycling.com has their "Love" Forum, which is pretty much no holds barred as far as oddness goes. Good (and civil) discussions in the other sub-forums, though.
+1 on bike journal, and it's our back up emergency meeting place anytime TE is being maintained or we break it :rolleyes: so he'll see us there too. Although we always come back here as soon as Jeff fixes TE.Quote:
