With the New Year coming within the next 24 hours, I've decided to try new things with the website

by turning it into a sort of online 'zine for the cycling community in Hawaii.

 

What that means is that the site will not only include notices for upcoming CM-H rides (assuming there will be any) but, will also include articles written by the cycling community in Hawaii and reminders of upcoming events that will take place.

 

I'll allow reviews and editorials, which will be published unedited, on the site and will essentially allow the cycling community in Hawaii to air whatever grievances they might have about how cycling-friendly/unfiendly the State of Hawaii is today.

 

If anyone would like to write an article for the site, a review or and editorial of some sort that is directly related to cycling in Hawaii, send it to me and I'll post it.

 

By the way, if you post an article and some one wants to reply to it by having their erply posted on the site too, in the interests of fairness I will have to allow it. If you can't stand it when people disagree with you, don't bother sending an article.

 

I'll also post cycling-related artwork, if anyone wants to send some my way.

 

Remember, no personal attacks, no flame wars and no advertising products not directly related to cycling (chi patches come to mind, here).

 

But, you can post a review of local bike shops, complain about road conditions on you daily commute, talk about cycling-related laws in Hawaii, etc. I'll also include a Buy, Sell or Trade section, if you're interested.

 

Let's see if this works. Because I've been looking at the site statistics lately and the website doesn't get a lot of hits and the monthly rides are almost nonexistant for Critical Mass Honolulu these days. So, either the website has to serve some kind of purpose or I'm considering shutting it down.
