Welcome to Beginner Cyclists — a friendly place for new riders to learn, ask questions, and share progress. To keep the community helpful (and drama-free), please follow the rules below. By using this forum, you agree to them.

Important: This forum is 18+ only. If you're under 18, please do not register or post.

1) Be Respectful

Treat people like you're chatting face-to-face. No harassment, hate speech, personal attacks, bullying, or deliberate stirring up drama.

2) Keep It Beginner-Friendly

No gatekeeping. Beginners ask beginner questions. Help them out or move along.

3) No Illegal or Dangerous Advice

Don't encourage illegal behavior (traffic violations, trespassing, etc.) or unsafe riding practices. Safety comes first.

4) Stay On Topic

Post in the correct board and keep threads focused. Off-topic replies are fine in moderation, but don't derail threads.

5) No Spam or Low-Effort Promo

No spam, link dumping, AI junk posts, or "drive-by" promotions. If you're here only to advertise, you'll be removed.

6) Self-Promotion Has Limits

Sharing your blog/YouTube/affiliate links is allowed only when it makes sense and adds value to the discussion. Repeated promotion = spam.

7) No Scams, Referrals, or "Too Good To Be True" Deals

No referral links, pyramid schemes, giveaways that require sign-ups, or anything sketchy.

Keep It Clean (Enough)

Light swearing is fine, but don't make it a hostile or graphic environment. No porn or sexually explicit content.

9) Privacy Matters

Don't post personal info (yours or anyone else's): addresses, phone numbers, workplace details, license plates, private messages, etc. Doxxing = instant ban.

10) Photos and Content You Post Must Be Yours (Or Allowed)

Don't steal photos, videos, or articles. If you share something, credit the source and include a link (when allowed).

11) No Medical/Legal Guarantees

People can share what worked for them, but don't present medical or legal advice as fact. If someone is injured or unwell, encourage them to consult a professional.

12) Marketplace (If/When Enabled) = Use Common Sense

If the forum has a buy/sell/trade area: be honest, use clear photos, set fair expectations, and handle transactions at your own risk.

13) Report Problems — Don't Start Fights

If someone's breaking rules, use the report feature or message staff. Don't escalate in public.

14) Staff Decisions

Moderators may edit/move/remove content to keep things organized and safe. Repeated rule-breaking can lead to warnings, temporary suspensions, or bans.

Quick Reminder

We're here to help beginners ride more, ride safer, and enjoy it. If you're posting in good faith, you'll fit right in.

Thanks for being part of Beginner Cyclists!
