Rider Down & Bike Shop Reviews
SocalTrailRiders is proud to announce our two newest forums -
Rider Down
Rider down is a forum for mountain bike injuries (or conditions), recovery from injuries, and encouragement for our fellow STR’ers who have fallen victims to injuries.
It’s true that the injured list system that I have had on the back-burner is now considered closed and abandoned. I feel that having a Rider Down forum is just as good and in some aspects better than a separate custom injured list system. A major pro of doing the forum vs. custom web application is that people are already familiar with the thread/forum system of communication.
Bike Shop Reviews
Bike shop reviews are incredibly helpful for people looking to buy bike parts and get things serviced - which is pretty much every rider out there. Bret came up with this idea and I agreed. This whole subject deserved it’s own forum. Currently it sits as a sub-forum inside of The Marketplace forum. Each shop will have its own thread.
As always, adding forums is a delicate thing. We don’t want to add so many forums so that the information gets diluted and scattered across tons of forums. Each one should serve a different and important purpose.
