Depends what you are looking for, this is a very active social site for bike rides, rallies etc. I have been on here years and made some great mates!!! (And no I'm not new member in case you wondering, just deleted old profile recently and made new one) I have had invitations from loads of people on here and opportunities to go to rallies, parties etc, stay online and go in chat room or post on forums and get to know some peeps, honestly its worth it, there are lots of lovely folk on here :) :) :)
I do dislike that expression 'you get out what you put in'. Not always. I've been a member for 12 years, early part of that I had my own bike, and for several years I was the admin for the BM calendar, the old one not the current one. Contrary to what others believe/ think I put a lot of hours in, searching the internet to check the details of events and approving those the members submitted.
Since I became bikeless, apart from when I was dating for just under2 years, I have to request lifts to any of the events. That rarely happens. When it does I only get one ride.
Admittedly, when I first joined I was unemployed and on the basic benefit so could only contribute the cost of a cuppa, which some folk didn't seem to mind. Since then my circumstances changed ( I got cancer, now gone) and so my benefits were raised, which means I am able to contribute a little more than a cuppa.
A lot of folk expect instant relationships, when they join a dating site, give it time.
As has already been said, if you are visible on the site, posting in threads, waffling in the chat room and attending events, you will get a lot of messages and make scores of new friends. I appreciate that if you are unsure or a wee bit shy this may prove difficult but it has to be worth a go :)
