  1. BikeReader Announces New Forum:
    World Continues to Turn on Axis

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    In a development which has stunned both bicycle industry experts and
    planetologists, the producers of bikereader.com have just announced
    that the launch of Freewheelingforum.com has had no measurable effect
    on the steady revolution of the planet Earth. However, staff members
    continue to hold out hope that other heavenly bodies may have ceased
    spinning, or at the very least paused out of respect for the shaky new
    enterprise.

    "They have correspondents with reeeeeally big telescopes down in
    Australia who have told them with great confidence that Pluto wobbled,
    and Saturn definitely lost a ring," claims a BikeReader insider.

    The forum sports a new domain name out of respect for BikeReader's
    audience, who know that BR is a noncommercial site. The Freewheeling
    CEO explains: "We have big plans for the new forum. It doesn't have
    any revenue at the moment, but we hope to make up for it in volume."
    He added, "I've put a new titanium bike on order as a small gift to
    myself when the money starts rolling in."

    Asked if he was worried about competition from such other forums as
    Cycling Plus, BikeMagic, and BabesOnBikes, he commented: "Of course
    not. The fact that they already have thousands if not millions of
    members and an established community simply means that we have room
    for growth. I'm especially pleased with the current pristine state of
    our forum; it's aesthetically very distinctive.""

    In an unrelated announcement, the producers of BikeReader and the
    Freewheeling Forum also admitted to the grand opening of
    http://www.prettygoodbritain.com. "We don't feel we're oversaturating
    the market with websites that have black backgrounds and a
    red/white/blue theme," insisted a spokesperson for PGB. The most
    popular attraction so far has been the Pub Quiz, though visitors
    stopping to gawk at the PGB proprietor in the Rogues' Gallery have
    also at times threatened to bring down the server.

    No longer pristine. Guy has posted on helmets. A classic start for a
    cycling forum ;-)

    Indeed; I am indebted to him. Of the half dozen members, he continues
    to maintain the highest post count.

    It's a good thing I've always enjoyed cycling up hills.
