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.

RoadBikeReview.com is a good one, as well as its companion site, MTBReview.com. Lots of youngsters over there asking about gear and seeking validation for whatever the last thing they bought at the LBS or off the internet was, but there's some good subforums. I usually hang out in the Commuting Forum at both places. Originally Posted by arielmoon

BikeForums.net is a large site, and folks over there tend to get more than a little blustery and testy. It's not a place to wear your emotions on your jersey sleeve.
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.

I only visit the Classic & Vintage forum on bikeforums.net. They're friendly and helpful, without the territory issues.

Bicycling.com was ok ...for a few years except a few members started to get blown out of proportion in remarks.
And if you are left-wing, liberal, etc. you definitely need to walk the firepath at that site. Love forum has been renamed to refugee rat. I no longer know the history of that.
My partner is an avid cyclist but more on cycling advocacy. He subscribes to several Internet listservs in this area.
