Did your favourite not make the list? Comment below…
I would also recommend @velospeak which focusses on careful reviews of bicycles and bicycle related products. Alex knows the products better than most sales people and sometimes better than the creators themselves!
These are gorgeous – loved the shopping bike wheelie with wacky houses in the background. A similar exercise identifying good cycling orientated Twitter accounts would be good too. I follow a few related to cycling infrastructure and cycling policy.
What about a Londoner who left the big smoke for Eastern European cycling adventures? https://www.instagram.com/podia_max/ 😉
You could try Cycology Travel’s instagram account for some luxury cycling holiday photos and inspiration for trips around the beautiful cycling mecca of Mallorca.
