August Cruiseletter
What’s Next? 🌆🚴 Our community is growing and has been much more lively than last summer. We had 50x the number of topics and replies posted here last month than the previous July! Visitors are 7x more likely to become a member*, and members are spending twice the amount of time on site. As liveliness in our Help and Welcome forums grows, we’ll identify themes to create additional forums to help Angels connect with each other more easily. Community Tune Up 👼💪 You might have noticed that the members online indicator on our homepage often said 0 members were online in the community. You may not have noticed, since this feature is only visible when you’re logged out. Either way—We fixed this dynamic indicator to ensure members will be able to see how many members are live in the community in real time.

May Cruiseletter 4m read What’s Next? 🌆🚴 With more visitors and members, the community is developing a group of Supermembers! Supermembers check in often, comment on member posts, moderate content, and set the tone of how we’ll interact with each other here. These members are integral to creating a collaborative and beneficial space for all Angels to find helpful resources. Supermembers have an important role, and as the community expands, the role they play in the community can expand, as well. Community Tune Up 👼💪 Our Winter Insights Blog is the first of many quarterly posts that shares data and examples about how the Bike Angels Community is growing and the greater impact on the larger BA population. Let us know what sorts of information you’d like to see in the insights blogs in the comments below!

What’s Next? 🌆🚴 During the colder months, we take some time to review and reflect on the busy riding season—how the community grew and how we supported each other here. This year, community members created 159 topics with 626 replies and 59 accepted solutions. 🎉 We’re proud of the progress we’ve made here, but there is so much more we can do—with your help! 😉 Community Tune Up 👼💪 We’re gearing up for the coming year and making 2024 plans. When reviewing community content metrics, we found that our Cruiseletters are the most engaged with blog articles followed closely by articles about product updates. We’ll continue posting these styles of articles in 2024, while looking for new ways to add value to community announcements. What sort of content is missing in the community? Comment Below!

What’s Next? 🌆🚴 You tell us! What kinds of interaction or content do you want to see here? We listen when community members have ideas or make callouts. If you notice something isn’t working or have an idea about what type of information would make our community site more helpful—we want to hear them! Comment below or take our site survey when you see it pop up. Community Tune Up 👼💪 Members will see the option to accept solutions again! 🎊 This option was lost along the ride with some updates, but we’ve made sure it’s live again. Solved topics that become FAQ articles increase our community value by offering clear and simple pages for common issues that can be found when non-members search in major search engines. That’s a big deal! The community offers us the power to create the types of communication and information we want to share.

What’s Next? 🌆🚴 The community is getting a big tune up to get ready for Summer! In the coming months, you’ll see some changes in the way things on the homepage and site pages appear, and the community will be a little easier for Angels to navigate and join in conversations. We’re excited to share the finer details with you in April or sooner. 🛠️ Community Tune Up 👼💪 TAGS! Tags make information in the community a little easier to find and identify. Tags are especially helpful for Bike Angels from other cities to distinguish relevant content about their city and their Bike Angels program. In the future, tags will become more prominently displayed and will be more integral in the community experience. Using the cities example above, we’ll have tags for each city to help organize content and create a catalog of city-specific posts, and you’ll be able to add other tags to help highlight the theme of the information.

What’s Next? 🌆🚴 As the community grows, we’ll consistently pulse check to see how we can provide more valuable content for community members. We plan to keep sharing general product announcements and updates to provide a resource and insight into product updates and launches that are relevant to Bike Angels. What sort of content do you want to see in the community? Comment below! 💬 Community Tune Up 👼💪 The community site structure is pretty simple at present with our Help forum and our Welcome forum. With Angels from all across the US finding the community, the need to organize the content here has grown, and we’re exploring ways to categorize community posts in the coming year. How can you help? In the meantime, we ask that members use simple and clear titles when creating new topics to help other Angels find helpful or interesting content.
