Best bike blog on the planet

The best cycling blog in my planet, anyway. That would be Jonathan Maus at Just Riding Along. He actually knows something about bike retail and marketing, unlike people like me who just froth at the mouth as we spout our nonsense. Just about every blog post he makes is something I really like to read.

Like todays's posts, for example. He's been talking for a while about how bike shops should improve their web presence on the web. He's in the August issue of Bicycle Retailer & Industry News (BRaIN) Magazine. You can read about it here. If you're involved in the bike business in any way, I highly recommend you read his article.

His other bicycle article today points out the faux pas the New York Times pulled in their article about new high-tech gadgets used by cyclists. The file photo accompanying this article shows a cyclist on an old bike with downtube shifters and "aero" brake hoods, 80's style aero bars, and wearing an old round poorly ventilated helmet with a helmet cover. Let's do the Time Warp again!
