I am afraid I have discovered this rather late in the day.
First, a huge thank you to VB / @Velocio for everything that he has done to create and foster this community over the years. We have learnt together, laughed together, healed together, grieved together and most of all we have ridden together. I owe VB and this community so much. I learnt so much about cycling on here and used that knowledge to develop my love for and obsession with cycling. I have made so very many great friends on here and have been given such great opportunities by knowing those people.
I don't know where this goes now but I hope that we can preserve some of that community in some way. London is a wonderful city and allows for communities that arise from shared passions more that geographical location. One might never speak to a neighbour but can be cheered by nod, a wave or a DAS from a fellow forumunger when many miles from home.
Thank you VB. Thank you.
