Now
normally we don't really like blogs here at cc towers.
There's something occasionally... self-indulgent in
them. Or maybe it's just that we're so bad at keeping
our own one up to date. Some have recently come to
our attention, however, that go a bit beyond the normal
'today I woke up and had cornflakes' mundanity. And
so it is that this month we hug our bikes...
Based
in the US the bloggers of Bikehugger
have a vision: "That everyone would ride
bikes all the time, like they do in Europe . . . well;
we can dream about that, while our vision or more
our mission, is to promote cycling, share our passion
for it, and do our part to popularize cycling."
The
site is an amalgam of thoughts, opinions and stories
of a number of bloggers. The slant is firmly fixed
in the direction of bike culture, something we're
at pains to promote through citycycling, and we're
happy to see in action elsewhere.
It
also helps that the chaps 'in charge' are thoroughly
decent people. We dropped them a line about appearing
here, and D L Byron straight away came back and offered
us a chance to ride his prototype Modal - an offer
we sadly had to turn down when it became clear the
visit was to London, quite a bit further south than
cc Towers.
With
so many different (and good) writers on Bikehugger
there is a wealth of material. We'll meet you all
back here in a couple of hours...
