Top 50 cycling blogs

By on 02/06/2009 in Features

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!

      Hello Andreas,

      It’s a good list, I’m glad somebody went to the effort. I don’t think my blog would deserve to go in the top 50 but if you fancy popping by and having a read some time…

      Hi – ahhh, you haven’t seen my little blog about a bunch of women in a cycling club, all about our rides and adventures in the past 5 years! Please pay us a visit – and if you can tell me how to tweet it, and the other things in your second bullet point, maybe we will feature in the update?!
      chesterfabulousladies.blogspot, @fabulous_ladies, and facebook. I am doing my best!
