Thats a good idea!

I shall add you! I need more cycly friends too. So anyone else can add me as well. Just make sure you send a message that says you saw me on TE in your request or I'll be all "OMG WTF" and deny. cause I dislike creepers, but <3 you girls

Also, OP: I sometimes find my way up towards New Bedford where my best friend lives, and he goes to work and I am all *farts around the house wishing for something to do* Perhaps if amtrak allows my bike next time, we can go out for a ride. I think fall river is closeish to nb?

Let's do it!

We should start a TE Facebook group.

I'm pretty sure there already is one.

Indeed there is one for the store, which is nice

While I do like FB and find a use for it, I think it would be overkill to create a FB page for TE board members - what would we discuss there that we don't discuss here? There are also many TE members who wouldn't be comfortable on FB, and many of us simply wouldn't use it... Personally I would only use it if I created an alias FB identity just for that purpose.

It'd be kind of redundant, wouldn't it? I did find you on FB, Catrin, via the TE store's page. I recognized your bike. And zoom-zoom...

It's pretty funny that we can recognize each other's bikes but not necessarily faces. I was thinking the other day when I was on the East Bay Bike path and exchanged Good Mornings with aproximately 25 other cyclists... if anything happened and police needed information, I couldn't say what anyone looked like or was wearing. But I could tell you I saw two Cannondale Synapses, 3 or 4 Trek hybrids, a Madone a vintage Schwinn cruiser, and an adorable Gary Fisher boy's bike. I am pathetic.

Chincitop, DH and I lived in New Bedford and are moving back in the fall It is closer to my work. If our schedules matched up, I'd love to go for a ride sometime.

Me too! I've picked up my BF's habit. I like to joke that he looks at bikes the same way some men look at women.
