    I think that a seperate sub-forum in the "Other Sports" Forum for cycling would be appropiate. I understand that this is a soccer site, but under "other sports" there is a large amount of other sports. Many of the fans of cycling do simply not know where to post about cycing. Any thoughts?

    I say give it a month trial. If it does not work, do away with it. Let the demand determine the result.

    I mean, really, "other sports" is pretty self-explanatory, is it not? I realize there's people who like cycling, but it could probably be contained to a few threads on the other sports forum (which isn't exactly getting heavy traffic to begin with).

    I want to resurrect this idea. I thnk that cycling could garner as much interest as any other separate forum.

    Cycling encompasses many different things. It's...
    - a professional sport.
    - a serious amatuer sport.
    - a leisure pasttime.
    - a consumer market with demand for reviews and purchases.
    - a social group.
    - a health and fitness group.

    I think that a sub-forum based off these interests could thrive.

    See, I forgot all about anything but bike racing.

    We can talk about recumbent bikes, mtn. bikes, cruisers, etc.

    Kidding aside, with cycling you have all that has been mentioned to discuss as well as favorite rides, diet, mental approaches, training tips.......I'm pretty sure my wife is tired of me talking about cycling so it's up to you guys:D

    Not a competitive rider, but I enjoy cycling all the same. A cycling forum would be a greta diea.
