A blog speaks to the individual experience, but Crazyguy is, for me anyway, an expression of a rather powerful shared collective experience. Each journal there adds to the experience that is spending way too much time on a bicycle. An individual blog can't compete with the inspirational and communal expression of all those journals.

I spend lots of time at individual blogs for information and such, but spend way too much time at CGOAB to reconnect with that, yikes am I gonna say it?, metaphysical experience that is bike touring.

P.S.: More 90's Internet, less Flash/youtube/"viral"...
