Dirkitech Posted February 5, 2019 Share true. Maybe it would have served its purpose better if directed to Dear Cycling Buddies, and structured as a general good practice guide rather than targeting some anonymous person.yesh... and also there are existing threads to add to for such things like visibility, as opposed to starting a new one and diluting the smaller selection of relevant topics into a lekker punch at a party where no one can answer whats inside and what makes it good or bad DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dassie Posted February 5, 2019 Share There is relevance to this. Sometimes one needs to engage the brain. Maybe look beyond the post. Look at what the post is trying to achieve. The one this morning, while aimed at one cyclist was a great reminder that while we think the lights we have on our bikes are enough, we could always do with more.Or rather with the right kind of light.  Some salient points here;https://cyclingtips.com/2017/02/see-seen-every-cyclist-needs-know-daytime-running-lights/ Yo-Yo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted February 5, 2019 Share Man the hub needs a decent fight thread like the old days, all this other stuff is just BSThis site is WAY better off without some of those old bruisers. You have the 'time blinkers' on.... Type 2 fun sort of thing. We may have to deal with open letters, repetition and some snowflakeness, but the site is a far better place to be in general. Sometimes I think 'yoh, remember the old fight threads, how I miss those days' then I remember I really don't.

Odinson Posted February 5, 2019 Share The 'Old Boys Club' made many a thread very toxic.  +1000 reputation points if you ever received a DM with a threat of a karate chop. Jewbacca and Danger Dassie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmarc Posted February 5, 2019 Share Man the hub needs a decent fight thread like the old days, all this other stuff is just BS Haha yes i agree, remember the old days with Grey Owl, and the Oom who was a padmaker in the Congo, used to ride a tandem - can't remember his name now. And then of course, those of us who believed our status level was gauged by the amount of F bombs you could fit into 1 post. Back in the day when Admin didn't have a lock post facility and Banning members just wasn't politically correct.

Thor Buttox Posted February 5, 2019 Share Are you even a hubber if that guy didn’t threaten you with violence at some point?I never felt threatened. Mostly cos those fights were never black or white to me. More like shades of grey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
