It’s really amazing how much chatter goes on with the bikeiowa boards. I get the posts in my e-mail and for some reason I feel compelled to read them all. I feel I’m a part of the biking community, reading others opinions helps mold my own opinions and arguments, there is a point when messages serve little purpose other than to toot the clever horn of the sender. It’s hardly ever clever.
I find almost zero posts on bikeiowa to be funny, having to read through so many posts with no point other than to make a joke is painful. I have been able to skim and skip posts more and more, it’s impossible to be a bikeiowa reader and think to yourself, ‘Look, a Kim West post, that’s going to be good!’.
I respect the rights of all to post whatever they want on the board, I’ve always felt it was a way to keep up with races and events, anyone can post what they think is worth saying. It would be nice if it was also worth reading.
