Other than BikeRadar....

What cycling related websites and blogs do you guys check out?

softlad

for me - none, other than this one. Not that I'm particularly loyal or anything, but the content is pretty similar wherever you go...

I keep an eye on the Guardian's bike blog - it's fairly limited but worth the occasional view.

Today there's a very silly hybrid v folder argument going on in the comments

As well as Fattie, Bikesnob, Roadcc, Guardian:

http://www.thewashingmachinepost.net/ - gear reviews (mostly) from Brian Palmer on Islay, who organises the annual 'Ride of the Falling Rain' sportive.

http://velogogo.com/ - irregular postings of fantastic cycling photography, occasionally videos too. None of that bothersome reading to do here.

http://cyclocosm.com/ - pro road coverage from Cosmo Catalano (himself a Cat 2 I think). Worth the visit for the 'how the race was won' videos.

http://drunkcyclist.com/ - group blog from cyclists in Phoenix, Arizona. Sometimes parochial, sometimes very funny. Warning: has quite a few NSFW entries. Also notable for an all-too regular feature 'biker down', covering cycling fatalities.

And of course lots of actual cyclists on twitter.

Edited to add: drunkcyclist.com also goes in for NSFW adverts. I forgot that as I have a Stylish filter for that site so it doesn't look like I'm spend my lunch hour staring at tottie.

Great list bazzargh. The photos on that velogogo site are amazing. Shame there is no rss feed for it.

Cyclingnews and Weekly, but as softlad says they are all much the same so tend to stick to here.
Twitter wise I follow several riders, teams and people in the trade etc.

road.cc for me, plus bikeforums.net's road cycling forum, to see just how annoying the Americans can be, but at least this time it's to each other...

I've been thinking yacf has been pretty crap lately, certainly compared to the fresh faces on BikeRadar. I've even started spending some time actually working rather than just posting on yacf.[/quote]

LOL, that is desperate, i'm waaaaaay off that stage.

I've also been reading alison starnes blog alot recently - http://alisonstarnes.com/blog/, her blog is described as "The confessions of a girl moonlightling as a cyclist…". It's quite a good read, there are some good pictures in there too
