Somebody on the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition discussion list asked about bicycle blogs in the San Francisco Bay Area. Besides my own Cyclelicious, here are the ones I know about (below the photo).
- BikeScape is in San Francisco.
- Ken Conley is a bike nut and up and coming photographer of cycling events. He covers California bike races in his “Spare Cycles” blog, which I highly highly recommend. Right now he’s offering prints of his work for purchase.
- Cyclofiend’s Ramblings.
- SF Cyclotouring is about more than just touring.
- Rick in the East Bay is the Itinerant Cyclist.
- Ah Pook bike commutes in the South Bay.
- Chico Gino splits his time between Chico and San Francisco.
- Hyland Bike Shop Blog.
- Walk Oakland Bike Oakland.
- Velogirl from San Mateo races Cyclocross.
- Doc Logan lived in Oakland for a short time.
- Shawn Kielty lives in Flat Tire Paradise, aka San Mateo, California. He bike commutes to South City but lately he’s been writing more about hiking in the desert.
- The Black and Blue Blog from Almaden Cycle Touring Club member Steve Sloan.

Introducing Carl in Longmont
November 20, 20072 Comments on Introducing Carl in Longmont
Carl is a member of Bicycle Longmont in Longmont, Colorado, where he’s active in the local Safe Routes to School program at his school. The Longmont and St. Vrain Valley School District Safe Routes to School program is among the most successful in the United States, with up to 90% participation at one of the schools.
Carl now has a blog: Getinlost in…, which I’m obligated to link to because he posted a bicycle haiku.
Via Carl’s blog I also found the Alex Draude’s Straight Chain blog about fixie riding in Kyoto and other areas in Japan.
Where in the world is OIFS?

Many of you probably remember Jim’s Oil Is For Sissies blog. Many of you lamented his decision to retire that blog.
Many of you apparently also know that he’s returned with Oil Is For Sissies V3.5, AKA “pinhole photography and other diversions.” I didn’t know. But now I do.

Lynskey bicycle blog

Join me in welcoming Lynskey Performance Bikes to the world of bicycle blogs. The Art of Custom Bicycles is the new blog for Lynskey Performance Bicycles, which creates custom titanium bikes that are beautiful works of art. They plan to feature all kinds of custom bicycles. I’ve subscribed to their RSS feed and I’m looking forward to their contributions to the blogosphere.
This is just me because I’m kind of dorky, but at Lynskey’s display at Interbike, my personal favorite was their titanium cruiser bike, which rides like a dream.
Props to Herbert of Guerrilla Communication.
