Besides search engines, I get most of my traffic from (in no particular order) Stumbleupon, Bicycle Design, Flickr, Reddit, Mahalo, RocBike and Ecovelo. Thanks for the link love, all!

Weird and wonderful

Interesting search keywords include "gansaari", "hairy men", "bicycle chocolate milk", "big thighs", "wind blowing skirts up", "chupacabra", "bicycles are of the devil", "did jesus go to china", "hair miniskirt", "are womens bike skirts dorky", "shimmery tights".

While most Cyclelicious visitors surf the web from within the United States, my logs show visitors from 184 nations and territories including Antarctica(!), Iraq, Iran, Israel, Libya, China (PRC and ROC), Vietnam. The top cities were New York City, San Francisco, London, Seattle and Chicago. I registered zero visitors in 2008 from Cuba, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Somalia, North Korea, Greenland, a whole swath of central Africa, and Madagascar.

Thanks so much for your continued support and promotion of Cyclelicious. 2009 marks the the fifth year of this cycling blog and I hope I don't get too stale with age. I hope you also like the new writers I've added this year. I hope the rest of your weekend goes great!
