QUESTION????

katie said:

I'm a student at Missouri State University and I've been assigned by my
professor to ask all of you in this group where your favorite place in
the world to participate in bicycling?? Thank you....

And your professor asked you to post the same question in 14 other
newsgroups?

And Misty posted it in rec.folk-dancing?

Is this for a basic statistics course, or how to spam newsgroups?

Asking a question in a NG is a college level assignment? And it isn't
even a grammatically correct question? Mizzou's standards have really
dropped since my wife attended school there.

But I don't live in the US...

Will you accept favorite province in China?

Aw, heck. I was going to say Earth.

Texas. It's hot in the summer, but you can ride all year long.

I didn't ride this winter when it was below 40 degrees F AND the wind was
blowing over 25 miles per hour. (wasn't that every day in December and
January?)

I don't ride as far or as long when it is near freezing, but try to get
out for a while nearly every day with longer rides on the weekend. I
live in a large urban area and plan the routes to compensate for the
cold breeze. After reading what some of these folks go through, I can't
complain.

From your original post: "where your favorite place__ in the world ___to
participate in bicycling."

For a college level research project, it seems you haven't thought about it
enough.

The project is probably this: If you ask a really vague question on a
newsgroup, who will attempt to answer it? =]

IOW, Katie is either dumber than we thought, or much smarter.

Claire, Can you tell me about a great experience that you had
bicycling???

For some reason, I find this question rather amusing.

I recently learned of a Canadian online cycling forum
(The Cycling Cog -- http://cyclingcog.net/).

I considered registering to it, but the registration page
has a questionnaire which includes this question:

"Describe some of your cycling experiences - major
revelations, "born-again" cycling experiences, turn-offs,
loves. In short, what makes you want to join this website?"

That was too much to think about, so I shined the
registration on.

I don't think I've ever had a "born-again" cycling experience,
apart from coming-to in the hospital. And my only major
revelations involved mooning certain annoying drivers (which,
I suppose, makes me the revealor rather than the revealee.)

It's so difficult to verbally articulate specific answers to
general questions about "great experiences while cycling".
Maybe that's because riding is a great experience in itself.

Anyways, The Cycling Cog has some interesting content & discussions
of general cycling interest, although at first blush it appears
rather Toronto-centric. One can read the stuff without having to
register and answer a bunch of heavy questions.

cheers,
Tom
