I like to post photos from my rides and such, but whenever I mention cycling on my wall... it's like crickets chirping... not too many bikey friends on my fb.
Anyone interested in sharing theirs, post below. Here's mine if you want to friend me:

Recognizing that we are each free to protect our privacy to lesser and greater degrees, I would nevertheless encourage you to read this list of safety tips from TE's administrator.
P.S. I'd love to see pictures of your rides and read ride reports if you posted them TE.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

No prob, I actually got hacked last year through my ebay/paypal account and they accessed my gmail and online bank account. This wasn't do to any carelessness on my part but still opened my eyes. I don't post my full name or addy anywhere or upload my gps records of any runs or bike rides... it's a scary world.
Sometimes I'm even hesitant to mention where i'm going to be running/riding/hiking, but I only go to popular places where I'm sure to see lots of traffic and people. A pain to fight crowds but safer than being isolated...

You can always post here on TE - we're a captive audience that understands the need to ride, run, swim; or otherwise be active outside. Just sayin' there's already a forum

I posted on Facebook once about my 30 mile ride and an hour of swimming laps afterward and all my family had to say was "You need something to do!".
I thought... this IS something to do...
Would they rather I sit on my butt and watch TV? LOL!
FB friendship request sent - all I ever post about on FB is cycling/outdoors related. I give far more details here than I do there - but it is nice to know I've FB friends who won't automatically roll their eyes when I post about doing something outside
Hah! All I get are crickets too! Sometimes someone will say "you are insane" but most of the time, I think nobody 'gets it'. To them my little milestone of going 60 miles is no more impressive than riding the 20 I was doing several months back, because they think they couldn't do more than four so I'm just crazy. But if I were to say "I rode the distance between my house and Northern Chattanooga today" I'll get a response.
Most of the time on FB I stick to the weather, my garden, and what I made for dinner. People seem to like that. *Yawn*

My blog - which rarely mentions cycling. It's really about decorating & food. http://www.crisangsteninteriors.com/blog
Whenever I post something about riding on FB, people go "13 miles? Are you nuts? Wow!" I think it's funny.
At least I don't leave slime trails.
