    Other good forums

    Is there a forum where guys can go and get good info, similar to this? (I'm assuming it wouldn't be men only.)

    Especially new riders -- a place where they can ask questions without feeling stupid? (I ask, as if A) a guy will ask questions and ever admit he doesn't know the answer and B) would admit he feels stupid.)

    Bike Journal. com

    Yes, many of us are on this other site as well. They have a great forum section and it is also a place where you can keep track of your rides and mileage. www.bikejournal.com

    Membership is free- to support the admin guy (Slantz) you can pay $20. for a year. This gives you more options.

    Good. I'm on bikejournal but don't post/read much. Just about any info there was covered better here, at least the stuff I'm interested in. I get good vibes from the place, though, and am glad to know i can recommend it.

    What about bikeforums? I looked around there, but again, haven't spent much time exploring.

    I read the forums on www.roadbikereview.com
    No fee, although in the non-beginner's corner there can be a lot of chest beating and machismo. Generally, if you look beyond that, you can get some good info, and they do treat the beginners well. Plus, there is a touring/commuting forum with lots of cool pictures. Somehow, it seems easier to post pictures on roadbikereview than on TE - consequently, there are a lot of pictures up - but you have to be registered to see them.

    Yes, roadbikereview.com put up a Beginners Forum, especially for those starting out. The animals (I use that term with nothing but love) at RBR can be merciless at times; but they behave in Beginners, so newbies feel safe asking questions.

    A few of us are over at bikeforums.net too. They have a women's forum that's closed to the general public. Once you're registered there, let me know if you want to have access to it.

    Really!!! What's did you do???? Things were pretty tense for a while, and Koffee Brown kept a pretty tight reign on things. She's gone, and it's a bit more relaxed.

    I'll see if I can get an email address or some way for everyone to get access there.
