Scot-Cycling FAQ
::::::::::::::::

1	What is 'Scot-Cycling'?
2	How do I read and post to 'Scot-Cycling'?
3	What other related cycling groups are there?



1	What is 'Scot-Cycling'?

'Scot-Cycling' is a group intended mainly for discussions of leisure
cycling, both onroad/touring and offroad/mountain biking. 

Visitors seeking information to help plan cycling holidays in Scotland are
especially welcome to ask for advice here. 

(However, please note this list is not particularly intended for 
discussion of competitive or sporting cycling.)


2	How do I read and post to 'Scot-Cycling'?

Scot-Cycling is available either as a mailing list via email:
(See: <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/scot-cycling/> to subscribe)

or as a newsgroup/"forum" through gmane:
at  news.gmane.org
as  gmane.culture.bicycle.scottish
(The following direct link will add the group to your newsreader:
 <news://news.gmane.org/gmane.culture.bicycle.scottish>)
(See also: <http://news.gmane.org/gmane.culture.bicycle.scottish>)

NB: In order to post to the group through gmane, you must first 
subscribe to the mailing list in 'no-mail mode' via YahooGroups as
above.


(Note that gmane and YahooGroups make archives of postings to the group 
available to the public. As on any public group on the internet, you are 
advised to post using a 'disposable' or 'time-limited' email address to 
reduce the risk of spam: 
eg, if you have your own domain or subdomain, create an email address of 
the form '[email protected]' in addition to your normal email 
address, and change this every year.

The email address you use to post to the group *must*, however, be valid 
(and subscribed to the email list, even if only in 'no-mail' mode). 
This is to prevent spammers from posting to the group.)


3	What other related cycling groups are there?

There are a number of other groups related to cycling and cycle
campaigning in Scotland, please see:

There are also other newsgroups on usenet, other YahooGroups, etc, which
can be found using appropriate search facilities.
