Thanks Snibgo, that's going to be very handy for those dark Winter nights that will be arriving very soon.

Granted, it's old hat now, but I enjoyed the ride!

+1 for CycleSeven, but I haven't posted for a few weeks. Sorry. :oops:

They keep me endlessly amused. Obviously, I don't necessarily endorse views expressed in them. There are probably thousands of others, and I hope folk will add links to blogs they enjoy.

Some more:

http://willcycle.blogspot.com/ WillCycle (Plymouth UK)
http://www.sarahouten.com/blog/ SarahOuten (human-power ATW)
http://www.bikeabout.co.uk/blog/ BikeAbout (NZ to UK)

And did I mention the amazingly excellent http://cycleseven.org/ ? Yes, I probably did.

I think pretty much every one of my faves is in there. 101w***ers isn't in there sadly, though.

The Guardian Bikeblog, Waltham Forest and Cycling Silk are some of the best. They tend to have levels of detail missing in most other blogs and can be genuinely informative. The ones set abroad (like Hembrow's) show how life is over there, good for comparing how different companies approach cycling infrastructure.

WalthamForest seems to be dormant, more's the shame.

Ah, yes, I'd forgotten 101. Did the original go away somewhere? There is http://www.101wankers.com/ , but that's a new one.

She said on Twitter something about her provider "deleted" the website. She'd paid for backups but they never made any. Felt really sorry for her as she was quite upset. One of the most read blogs on the web, certainly from a cycling perspective.

I dont know whats going on with Waltham. The guy has gone awol and some of the readers on another forum were quite worried. I hope he's OK!
