It's very ironic: I get way more comments from other people, but it's very rare from cyclists.

Let me know what I'm doing wrong.
Maybe cyclists are too busy riding? Seriously, I have very little time to read blogs. I ignore lots of the new threads on TE that seem to be started "for the sake of discussion." I gate myself a lot more on the internet than I used to to preserve time for other things (I'm working tonight, and taking a break - the only reason I'm on TE now). I really don't read many cycling blogs - I'm very picky. I also tend to read what I read through an RSS feed - and commenting requires opening in a web browser - which I usually don't do.

Are you inviting comments? I tend to see blogs are one way conversations, not two way. I've never considered commenting an obligation, or a badge of honor. Why does it matter to you if people comment on your blog? Or your forum posts?

PS - I like Bucket Lists. I see them as goals - or a roadmap for how I want to live life going forward. No - life might not fit perfectly into them, but.... If you don't like that perspective, maybe read other blogs?
