And we can "click to shop" (see above)
I'm just sayin' if I join another social network how would I have time to ride, walk, eat or work. This place has proven somehow over and over to be the best dang place in cyberspace for women (and a couple of men) endurance athletes.
Long live TE! Thanks Susan and Jeff

hmm these guys are hitting other cycle boards too. Like they can't create their own audience?

I agree
I agree that TE rocks! I certainly didn't want to imply we were trying to compete. Just wanted to let all of you know of a different type of forum available to share your expertise and experiences. Please accept our apologies if my posting was taken any other way. Thanks and enjoy!

No problem. And a hearty welcome to TE. All are welcome here unless they somehow really tick us off.
From time to time we muse about what makes this spot so great.
So far I don't know whether it is:
some of us actually ride together.
the info that women cyclists need we find here and only here
the rich mix of riders of every stripe, kind, level and ability
truly remarkable level of writing. Our members are generally bright, lucid, articulate, funny, informed ... Even those for whom English is not their first language the writing is great (which amazes me). You'll see someone miss a punctuation mark but I find myself reading TE just as great cycling literature.
Our admins and Jeff rock. Stepping in when they need to, hands off when not. I'm sure there's a lot they do we're not even aware of ... it's just generally more civil here than a lot of forums. We have our moments but they are rare and usually resolved with beer and chocolate.
Maybe it's just something in the water.
TE rocks! Long live TE.Last edited by Trek420; 10-17-2010 at 01:24 PM.

+1 on preferring TE...not sure how posting here on TE and telling forum members to "sign up...we need your support!..." isn't "competing"...??
Thanks again to Susan and Jeff for providing us the best womens cycling online forum ever!

Ah, I don't really see it as competing. I mean, I follow here and the mtbr forums, and I get different needs fulfilled in each.

I mean, the owners of Whole Foods don't hit you up on your way out of Trader Joes to tell you to come check out their store. They advertise, sponsor, and do other things.2015 Liv Intrigue 2
