“_I imagine an outside observer would find the level of engagement (ha) over minutiae like this pretty amusing. we're such dorks._“
Pretty sure my average submission would have an appeal to maybe 1-2% of mountain bikers, never mind non-mountain bikers.
Thankfully that’s enough engagement to keep the wheels turning. Without trying to sound like a hype man I do think the comments on NSMB pieces are the most interesting and well written in the mountain bike media landscape, and the community here does a great job of presenting differing viewpoints, often polar opposite viewpoints, and feedback politely and with well reasoned, well-written counters.
I know it’s “just bikes” but it’s too bad more of the internet isn’t the same.
