There will be quite a few bikers in Bolivia at the moment. The problem is, from my recent experience, virtually none of them frequent the hubb.
Many current bikers I spoke to had barely heard of HU, the website/forum (i.e. here). About half knew of Facebook HU. I found most bikers in South America didn't have English as their first language. Few spoke any English. Why would they go on an English language 1990s technology forum? Even English native speakers don't use un-user-friendly (web based) bulletin boards anymore.
Social media on mobile devices is where it's at. Catherine/ Sophie have posted on Facebook HU as well as other bicycle travel FB groups.
They have also posted on Advrider (website/forum). I'm sure, they're looking for other social media channels and local individuals/ groups to contact. I've made several suggestions on HU FB and contacted all the Bolivians I know.
Can you suggest any social media channels? Have you contacted your people?
