Re: ...if there's a list of cycling related blogs
Quakermike and Hexhome, thank you for your kind words. I posted again on the blog on Monday morning about how using roads is an intensely social experience, rather than the private one many people imagine. It's at http://invisiblevisibleman.blogspot.com/. I welcome suggestions and comments.

I found this one because the owner notified me that they had posted one of my photos.

Re: ...if there's a list of cycling related blogs
The weather is warming up and I've resolved to spend more time on the bike and less online. Still, my list keeps growing:

Re: ...if there's a list of cycling related blogs
Could this excellent list be made into a sticky so we could refer to it in the future rather than it getting lost among all the other posts please? There's so much interesting stuff to explore here.
Re: ...if there's a list of cycling related blogs
Have placed it in "non technical - too good to lose"

Blogger may be zero-cost but it isn't free. It's very easy to lock out disabled users (reCaptcha should die), there's almost no support for bugfixing and it's difficult to move your blog to a better host later. Wordpress is far better, but I'm surprised there's no bike-specific social blog network thing yet. (If I had infinite time...)
Are there any good bike blog aggregators or networks? (Sometimes called planets, like http://planet.alug.org.uk/ is for one local computer club.)

Cycle touring blogs?
I enjoy reading about peoples cycling adventures. Here's one I am currently reading:
https://bikearoundbritain.com/
If you know of any other decent ones post em here. I can't be the only one here interested in this stuff. I find them somewhat inspiring.

Re: Cycle touring blogs?
I'm surprised no one has mentioned www.crazyguyonabike.com Possibly the oldest/biggest collection of cycle touring stuff? I used it for my Hebrides trip report a few years ago...
