Top 50 cycling blogs

This list shows a collection of the best cycle blogs in the world. I hope it helps you discover something new. It took me absolutely ages to put together, so if you enjoyed it I would hugely appreciate any tweets/stumbles/diggs. Some notes on the list:

  • It was calculated by looking at over 100 cycling blogs
  • The rank is based on a number of elements such as Google Pagerank, Twitter Rank, Alexa Rank, number of comments and Technorati Authority
  • Certain blogs have been excluded where the primary focus of the site was not really on the blog as I felt this would be unfair
  • I have not included London Cyclist on the list for two reasons. 1. It is clearly an awesome blog 2. I did not want to be seen as biased
  • Where blogs have a twitter account I have linked to this in the rank number on the left
  • You may look through the list and think: “Why didn’t you include X blog” – I realise I may well have missed a great blog so apologies if I have but these are all the ones I could find in a reasonable time frame. Feel free to email me any suggestions for future lists
  • UPDATE: I have added a few more twitter links that were originally missed. Apologies!
  • UPDATE: Number 50 has been changed to Bike Noob because the Bike Geek appears to have been deleted
  • UPDATE: Epicurean cyclist now has a link to their new blog
  • UPDATE: I now have a list of blogs to be included in the next update. Keep sending me more!

      Hi Andreas,

      Great list. I keenly follow most of em (probably too keenly if my boss has anything to say about it), but where’s ours?!

      Tredzblog!. I know we’re a shop, but we’re cyclists first and foremost. No sales, no cheap bike links. Just a blog that regularly features highly in Google.

      Anyways. No rant, just an observation. Love your blog (seriously I owe you, printed out your Bike Maintenance guide for my girlfriend who now fixes my bike) and frequently drop in. Keep up the good work

      Ol at Tredz.

        Hi,

        My blog might be worth a look. My mate Andy and I have been cycling into the North Kent countryside most weekends over the past four years, but have been keeping a blog for just over a year, probably about 18 months. It’s just about where we go and what we chat about and stuff.

        Go check out http://novisiblelycra.blogspot.com

        Matt.
