cycling links

Dan

Hello-
I am a recreational rider and racer, and I am putting together a site with
biking links.
If you know of a site to be included, let me know.
Any comments on design appreciated.
Thanks-

Coincidentally, both cycling-links.com and edapebaf.com (advertising
server) are registered to the same source.

As I explained to the poster below via email. I use domains-by-proxy which
is used by thousands of people so that the whole world cannot look up my
name and address (which is what "eric" tried to do). Apparently the
advertiser he mentions below uses the same service, but I have no connection
to them.

This website was created by me and the advertisements I put there to help
offset the cost of hosting. Believe me it does not even pay for itself. I
am just trying to put this together, but now you have me thinking it is a
waste of time because no one will appreciate it.

It's just that we don't like your MO.

It's the same way in the cooking related newsgroups. Every six months
somebody comes by and says "Hey come check out my recipe site and add your
recipes". Every time, several people them where they can cram their recipe
site. And then every year or so somebody says "Help me compile my recipe
book" and they just about get death threats.

Not exactly the same thing, but, you would have caught more flies by
becoming an active and useful member of all the forums you cross-posted to
and just advertising your site in your signature.

From now on I shall be wearing padded shorts on my head!

And the gloves stick out like antlers?

I'm sure I've seen that at University somewhere!

Right on the front page you have "You can save your life and prevent
crippling bike injuries if you wear a helmet when you ride."

Cycling must be really dangerous. Is all the information on your site
based on the same deep knowledge and understanding?

Presumably he meant something like, "there is an outside chance that a
cycle helmet will prevent a serious injury if you /crash/, but it is
highly unlikely and should not be relied upon for anything much beyond
preventing grazes".

Or perhaps one of the sites he should be adding is www.cyclehelmets.org
and having a good hard read of it too.

How will me wearing a helmet prevent my bike getting injured? ;-)

I noticed quite a few ambiguities and grammatical errors, however
since my own use of English is far from perfect.....

I'm sure BHIT will have a "reason"...

Careful Mark, there's enough grammar mistakes on your web page to take the
piss out of you too.

Oh my God, now we are going to hear from Guy Chapman of England about bike
helmets and how worthless they are. I think I am going to go down to my
basement and shoot myself in order to escape the misery of his post.

Always? Don't you find it a bit inconvenient in the shower or at the
barbers?

Hmm.. Must be off. I can sense some hands just needing to be wrung..
