Germans here? And why is Europe not a region?

[MBj1703]

Hi there,

I'm wondering if there are Germans in this forum?
I'm from greater Munich area.

Also I saw the board "Regional" - For members across the world
inside is only USA and Australia?

Cheers
Markus

Whaaat? Are you saying that German people ride bikes? No way!

If it makes you feel better, I run a BikeYoke seatpost and used to run Schwalbe tires. You guys make some nice stuff.

No, we don't ride bikes, we only eat Schweinebraten with Sauerkraut

Schwalbe sucks

Lots of them !

I think because historically, the forum was primarily Europe based, so effectively the whole forum was the European region.

The Aussies then decided they wanted a special area, just so they weren't confused with the Kiwi's. It also stopped the endless arguments about bottle cages, which the Aussies always insisted were for beer and not water.

Then the popularity increased slowly in America and being Americans, they requested a separate area to discuss things which were purely American based like trail access .. Though this wasn't continental based as they didn't want to be confused with the Canadians, South Americans or the Kiwi's (some people, mainly Americans, are really bad at Geography) , so it was called USA.

Frankly, I think we need to establish a California eMTB Forum. I would be mortified if someone was to confuse me with one of those Mid-Westerners or Easterners. The Northwest isn't so much of an issue because I hardly ever wear flannel... and they have good beer.


Actually, German beer can be pretty good, and their frauleins aren't so bad, either. @MBj1703, you're welcome to hang out with us in the new California group (just don't forget to bring the beer and frauleins).

I try to limit how much of an asshole I am. I like Germans and the food and beer not really the women tho. Hard to find Heidi klumes. Anyway I self moderate because I feel bad when the moderators spend most of their time dealing with me.

hahah okey, yes the are probably watching you 24/7 and moderate all your stuff
