Well that's silly! There already is a Racing forum. That one is pretty boring though as it's all about actual racing, rules, preparation, tactics, etc. The real racing stuff that people don't actually like.
There's all sorts of other forums though that are pretty cool - Utility Cycling, Touring, Commuting, Cross/gravel, 50+, Long Distance, and even one entitled Recreational Cycling.
Personally I have always liked this one because...well I'm a Roadie. I like riding on the road. Like a roadie. I like Roadie culture, clothing, accessories, parts, etc.
I sometimes enjoy big huge bags to carry everything in as well. Usually I am commuting, going on a gravel adventure, or utility cycling like shopping for groceries or running errands. Sometimes it's handy too when I am doing super long distance or recreational riding. At those times the temps can change a lot through the day so I can bring like 2 or 3 changes of clothes and a decent sized picnic lunch. Fun times.
