Bike snob

There's a much better bike blog than mine. Anybody who reads Astoria Bike and doesn't read Bike Snob is either ignorant or has serious time management problems.

Most of his posts are great. His More BSNYC Infrequently Asked Questions is a gem.

(But why is a threadless headset better than the old-fashioned kind? I thought that was just a solution to a nonexistent problem.)

Keep it street level

I’ve just unabashedly borrowed this cartoon from another bike blog I’ve just discovered.

There is other good stuff on this blog, too. Like this post on bike commuters.

Recommended Readings

Good stuff, as usual, on Bike Blog. See the story on Fixed Gears' legality, in particular.

And there's an interesting academic article in the premier issue of Affinities: A Journal of Radical Theory, Culture and Action. "'Outlaw' Bicycling," by Chris Carlsson.

Bikeblog

Read all about the controversy at Brooklyn Industries and crazy anarchist anti-consumerist bike gangs (as opposed to all the consumerist anarchists running around with Puma balaclavas?).

C.H.U.N.K. 666 is an intersting group, by the way. Tall bikes are cool, by the way. And bike jousting may be a gimmick, but it’s a damn good one. And watching one crazy motherfucker ride a bike loading with exploding fireworks? That’s more than you’ll ever see on the uncensored version of Hipsters Gone Wild.

It’s all on Bikeblog, “perspectives on bike culture in NYC and beyond.”

Bike blogs galore!

There's a meta-site of bike blogs. Of course there is.
