Roger Williams @rogerbikes.com · 27/11/2025I’m a sucker for this issue. I enjoy the comments in LinkedIn and get good reach there. I’ve learned to place links in the comments and that seems to help get the traffic somewhere. Maybe. The problem is convenience. It’s much easier to open an app on my phone and get a consistent experience. 1/2 110
