Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Favorite SS/FG or cycling blogs?

Hey folks, I'm just curious to see if anyone has any favorite SSFG / cycling blogs or websites that they visit on a daily basis. Just looking for some cool or interesting news / gear / video / photo sites to add to my RSS reader. Thanks!

I grab my favorite stuff from the SS/FG picture thread/pedalroom, and favorite blogs and post them/reblog them at https://mybikes.tumblr.com/ -- unfortunately none of the places I follow seem to be just bike blogs but also personal blogs and/or fashion blogs. Besides that I've had good success staying up on news and discussion by adding companies on facebook as well, they seem to announce stuff there as recently as anywhere else and you don't have to go to each of their sites.

Thanks! I just started following you. Also, good call on adding companies on Facebook.

Hasn't been updated in months, but probably the best FG blog ever written.

I was in to Japanese fans with bicycle themed art way before it became a hipster thing.

My favorite is Cycleangelo. He's a great photographer, seems to be really into riding and not just buying **** (I can't say the same for Prolly, PedalConsumption, blogs like that). https://cycleangelo.cc/

This guy is a racer and messenger (he's the guy who won the red Vigorelli at the Red Hook Crit last year) with a great sense of humor. Also not about buying ****: https://bonedeth.tumblr.com/
