We’re happy to enable such productive time wasting on the internet

The BikePGH Messageboard has no doubt proven to be a great resource for connecting Pittsburgh cyclists, organizing rides, activism, sharing knowledge, and producing good clean fun!  We look forward to 2011 as it gets even more popular!

Based on number of pageviews, we bring you the ten most popular BikePGH Messageboard Topics of 2010:

#10 Drama with AE and some gate crashing antics brought What’s up with the south end of Hot Metal? in at #10

#9 The heartwarming thread Good People secured the #9 slot.  It’s good to see that not just bad things get lots of views.

#8 An example of the opposite of “good people,” in one of the more bizarre local stories of 2010, a local radio host is immortalized on the internet in the thread KDKA Radio’s Mike Pintek is a sick sick man when he said he wanted to “bump” cyclists with his car and “to scare the living crap out of them” on the air.  Cyclists struck back.

#7 The cycling-group-that-could, Flock of Cycles, had an incredible year, and the messageboard loves them for it.

#6 An unfortunate reminder of some of last year’s violence: Cyclist Attacked on East Liberty Blvd-Memorial Day Weekend

#5 The first thread on this board to start an internet meme, the classic Bumper Bike Strikes Again! in at a solid #5 and topping the charts for the second year in a row.

#4 An oldy, but a goodie, the Sticker Slogans thread was topped again for the next batch of BikePGH stickers (coming soon)

#3 In at #3 is the Long Overdue Introductions Thread, no doubt boosted by being stickied at the top

#2 Sadly, the grim reminder of Cyclist Killed on Harts Run Rd and the ghost bike that followed.

#1 No surprise here, but the The Pittsburgh Tag-o-Rama wins the most popular thread of 2010, and the first thread on the board to close in on 1,000 posts!

And for fun, here’s 2009’s 25 most popular
