Don't know what got me started thinking on this. I guess the shorter, darker days but..


What are some good cycling blogs you like?

Even if it's not but just pop in and read a few lines every 3-6 mos but you just go to it for good stuff, inspiration, pictures of bikes, gear, clothing, miscellaneous.

Fat cyclist come to mind, 39 stone cyclist just for someone who truly is working and dedicated every day to cycling and fitness. (a disclaimer the last site I don't really read but applaud his dedication every day). yesiamprecious dot com. as good a writer as rider-great writing about riding across the country with a trailer. good stuff.

Somebody posted info about this one (http://boundsouth.org/about/) a few weeks ago. Three brothers cycling 25,000 miles! I check in from time to time, they also have a Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Bound-South/250070715009494)

I enjoy following Precious's tweets as well as his Rider, the Noodleator.

Always something worth clicking on.

Drunkcyclist was great back before dude got married. Then the wife made him take down all the porn and porn links. Ruined the site. Never been the same since. Some of the stories are pretty funny though.

some of these I wasn't aware of, some I wish I wasn't now (drunkcyclist must be a DUDE thing)


Thanks, can surf this winter or now when my knee is complaining.

Ten Speed Heroes and Inner Ring are both really good places to check out stuff about racing and fandom.

Red Kite Prayer is a must, and Belgian Knee Warmers was a great predecessor site where you can still access the archives.

Two I like for different reasons are
http://www.cyclinginquisition.com/

http://www.flammerouge.je/content/0_home/home.htm

One is a former punk rocker, Colombian immigrant who keeps it mellow and insightful, while the other is an older but very active coach/racer who does some amazing rides around Europe--including taking on the Badger.

I have had the pleasure of riding w/BJ in the last few years. Yes, the site is no longer pron links, but , and I may be premature in saying it, Big Jonny is destined for bigger things.

my suggestion is that you look on the margin to see what the site your on has linked. i've found all of the above that way, and many, many more. when it's slow at work, when the weather is bad, or when i've read all my bike magazines, i'll peruse them.
