We paid for a listing on this a couple of years ago. We did not renew and we are still listed! I just looked at our stats for last year and we received on 3 clickthoughs to our website and we are located along a well known bike route. Definitely not worth it for us!If any of you host bikers, take a look at this site - http://www.bbbiking.com/ I am not on it but I know the innkeepers who run it and are very nice people. Could make sense for some inns..Bigbid, I have watched this site for several years, we are near a rail to trail and was interested in listing UNTIL I noticed that one B&B under our state's "Featured Listing" has been closed for almost 5 years, yet they are still appearing under Featured Listings a supposedly $40 a year fee - I know these people are not sending $40 to list a closed B&B! This had me look at the regular listings too and found several others that were closed.Bigbid said:If any of you host bikers, take a look at this site - http://www.bbbiking.com/ I am not on it but I know the innkeepers who run it and are very nice people.

If I was a biker/hiker that happened upon this site and found many of the listings outdated, I would not use that source again.
Granted, $40 is not a huge chunk of change but it is not worth a penny if the site is not accurately maintained. Since I see this one closed B&B still being listed, how many other open B&B's are being shown under 'Featured listings' that are not paying their $40 to have this privilege?

It's a good concept, but site maintenance and promotion are not there.
