Do you like #bicycles or #cycling? Do you also use an #xmpp compatible chat service? Join our new group chat at bicycles@conference.samwhited.com. Hopefully this can become a fun community space to share pictures, post routes, and generally chat about bicycles.
It only gets full of memes if that’s the culture you create (I hope we won’t do that, so far it seems like we haven’t). And I definitely wouldn’t follow everything on a high-volume chat, when you’re on and a topic of discussion you’re into starts or you just feel chatty, then you follow along, otherwise it’s not necessary. But that’s just how I do chat rooms, YMMV.
