We need a Foo General Cycling

General Cycling has been steadily getting harder and harder to read. I swear people just think up garbage like this and post.

https://www.bikeforums.net/general-c...-cyclists.html

What on earth does something like this have any bearing on cycling? How would anyone find the information from such thread useful?

There have been a number of similar threads started of late. Some of them, like the one above have been locked, which is appreciated but they should have never gotten into the forum in the first place.

Since people don't seem to want to think about the usefulness of the threads they start.. Can we please get a Foo cycling where nonsense posts like this can be tossed? General Cycling should be reserved for actual questions on cycling, not nonsense like cycling elitism, , bike slang or someone's political affiliation.

And yeah I guess I am guilty of feeding the trolls by participating in the reduce urination thread., Reducing urination? That is worthy of a discussion??

Just report the thread or particular geographic coordinates of the train wreck via the red exclamation button and it'll sell a million and two. No need to split hairs or hares, doc. Your friendly neighborhood moderators will rush out to fill it up and check the air.

Foo is for non cycling related chatter.

General cycling is for.. general topics regarding cycling.

If it's not something that should be in general, please report it and we will discuss how to handle it.

The trolls and troll threads in General are sometimes amusing, but more often than not they are uninventive. But they sure to sucker people in. P.T. Barnum was correct.
