A lot of social media activity has migrated over this past year to portals like Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and Tumblr, but several new cycling blogs have caught my attention and yours in 2011.
James Schwartz in Toronto publishes two to three article per week in The Urban Country to advocate for using bicycles as transportation in North America to improve our cities, our people, and the world. Through his related Rate My Velo website, James seeks to show the world that bicycles are for more than just sport. He even has a “Photo of the Day” web gadget.
Another fantastic newcomer for 2011 is Bikey Face in Boston. Her blog is a fun collection of her bikey face drawings, and it’s a good reminder of why I began Cyclelicious in the first place. Sometimes I focus way too much on inequities, injustices and politics, get a little bit angry, and Byron @ Bike Hugger chimes in with “Bro, how is this advocacy?”
Darryl in Austin began publishing Loving The Bike in 2010, but his blog really took off in popularity and quality this year. I love his positive encouragement. Those on Twitter undoubtably also know of his popular Thursday night #BikeSchool discussions.
