Changes I'm thinking about in the near future... consultation

Awesome.

I do think non-fixed stuff should remain ok. There are a lot of singlespeeders and roadies on here as well as other random interest items..

It's not really about being roadies or MTBers or whatever someone else might do. This forum is a place for people to congregate defined by a common interest. We discuss other common interests as well so discouraging talk of bikes with gears on seems obtuse. A forum/sub forum for geary talk that isn't relevant to rides might be appropriate though, just to avoid confusion.
