hey! I started a community called "mtb" (!mtb@lemmy.cat) but the instance I'm using does not allow yet to upload images correctly
nice to see !bicycle community finally!
Nice! What was xbiking about? I thought I had been subbed to all the cycling subreddits but had missed that one. My jam these days is bikepacking, I love the combo of biking far and camping. Glad you made this community!
xbiking has always been a sort of loosely defined thing, but if I had to define it in a sentence I'd say it's cycling that is done primarily for adventure, with a certain disregard for the conventional cycling ethos which can kinda fall into snobbery at times.
Here's an archive.org link of a reddit thread where the creator of /r/xbiking explains it. It was by far one of my favourite subreddits, and I hope we get some similar activity here!
A place to share our love of all things with two wheels and pedals. This is an inclusive, non-judgemental community. All types of cyclists are accepted here; whether you're a commuter, a roadie, a MTB enthusiast, a fixie freak, a crusty xbiking hoarder, in the middle of an epic across-the-world bicycle tour, or any other type of cyclist!
