Cycling communities were one of my favourite parts of reddit, and I’ve been unable to find any equivalents on here so I decided to start this community. Feel free to post and comment about anything related to cycling! I’d love for this place to continue in the spirit of /r/xbiking, not necessarily content-wise but definitely attitude-wise. We’re all cyclists, and at the end of the day the only criteria for being a part of this community is riding a bicycle (and enjoying it!)
Please comment any suggestions you have for this space, or simply say hi and let us know what you like to do on your bike!
hey! I started a community called “mtb” (!mtb@lemmy.cat) but the instance I’m using does not allow yet to upload images correctly
nice to see !bicycle community finally!
Nice! What was xbiking about? I thought I had been subbed to all the cycling subreddits but had missed that one. My jam these days is bikepacking, I love the combo of biking far and camping. Glad you made this community!
xbiking has always been a sort of loosely defined thing, but if I had to define it in a sentence I’d say it’s cycling that is done primarily for adventure, with a certain disregard for the conventional cycling ethos which can kinda fall into snobbery at times.
Here’s an archive.org link of a reddit thread where the creator of /r/xbiking explains it. It was by far one of my favourite subreddits, and I hope we get some similar activity here!
