This list shows a collection of the best cycle blogs in the world. I hope it helps you discover something new. It took me absolutely ages to put together, so if you enjoyed it I would hugely appreciate any tweets/stumbles/diggs. Some notes on the list:
- It was calculated by looking at over 100 cycling blogs
- The rank is based on a number of elements such as Google Pagerank, Twitter Rank, Alexa Rank, number of comments and Technorati Authority
- Certain blogs have been excluded where the primary focus of the site was not really on the blog as I felt this would be unfair
- I have not included London Cyclist on the list for two reasons. 1. It is clearly an awesome blog 2. I did not want to be seen as biased
- Where blogs have a twitter account I have linked to this in the rank number on the left
- You may look through the list and think: “Why didn’t you include X blog” – I realise I may well have missed a great blog so apologies if I have but these are all the ones I could find in a reasonable time frame. Feel free to email me any suggestions for future lists
- UPDATE: I have added a few more twitter links that were originally missed. Apologies!
- UPDATE: Number 50 has been changed to Bike Noob because the Bike Geek appears to have been deleted
- UPDATE: Epicurean cyclist now has a link to their new blog
- UPDATE: I now have a list of blogs to be included in the next update. Keep sending me more!
- UPDATE September 2017: A bunch of blogs have stopped posting, I’ve marked these.

Thanks for including my blog!! This is a fantastic list – I read most of these blogs already, but there are also some new ones that I look forward to checking out.
I agree with Dottie…great list! I am honored to have my blog included here. I look forward to checking out the few blogs mentioned on this list that I am not already familiar with.
Thanks for including BikingToronto in your list. 🙂 It’s a great list of great blogs! 🙂
Thanks for putting the list together — bike hugger is on twitter

Hi Andreas,
Great list! Another blog you may want to check out from the authors of #42 (the epicurean cyclist) is the path less pedaled (http://pathlesspedaled.com).
I’ll be sure to retweet your awesome list. Thanks for the head’s up on these other blogs! 🙂
Cheers,
Logan.
What about Real Cycling from your fellow London cyclist/blogger: http://realcycling.blogspot.com/
My current favourite cycling blog.
[no connection, just a reader]
Thanks for the comments guys. I have added any suggestions to my notes to be used in future lists. Apologies to anyone whos twitter link was not included – just let me know and I will update the post.
Hope you all keep up your excellent blogs they make for great reading.
Thanks for the recognition Andreas.
Reading that list is like seeing a bunch of old friends. Many of the blogs on there were around years ago and were a big part of my inspiration.
Honored to be on this list with such esteemed company.
Cheers.
A top-ten list I compiled in 2008
http://bikehugger.com/2008/08/bike-blogs.html
Oooh, thanks for the linkup. It’s great to be rubbing shoulders with some “heavy hitters” in the bike blogging biz.
This is a brilliant list. Thanks so much for compiling it — and including me on it! I haven’t been blogging very much over the past 6 months, owing to illness/laziness, but I hope to change all that v. soon.
I didn’t see these guys on there. They are one of the ones I follow on a regular basis.
http://prollyisnotprobably.com/2009/05/fyxation_session.php
Probably hard to get em all though.
You missed one of the best ones of all: http://www.bicycletouringpro.com
It doesn’t look like a traditional blog, but it is indeed a blog. And a great one at that – all about traveling with your bike.
I would recommend ATXBS.com – it is pretty Austin, Texas specific but I see several other city-specific sites on your list. Thanks!
Humffff! I didn’t even know about this. Would our BLOG have had a chance of winning this prestigious cycle-blogging award?
Tongue in cheek – nice list. Keep us in mind for the next round!
Fab list, one more for you BicycleTouringPro.com excellent site, superb twitter follow as well!!inspiring!
How fun to be on this list with so many other amazing bloggers. I’ve read most of them but will have to browse the rest ASAP.
Hi I am cyclingalps on Twitter:
thx for list
http://twitter.com/cyclingalps
it is a great collection of blogs
I am honored to be a part of this list
making the top ten is super sweet
I need to chase some of those links
some are old favorites
some may become new favorites
Thanks for including EcoVelo in your Top 50 list!
Regards,
Alan
Good list! Check out this new bike blog from Brooklyn:
http://bikeworm.wordpress.com
Its great to see so many amazing cycling bloggers commenting on London Cyclist. Sounds like a few people are surprised at how high they ranked – well done to you!
*Blush* Thank you – this is a great list, and I feel so honoured that you’ve put me up there in such company!
Please add Jacquie Phelan’s blog to your notes for next year’s list: http://jacquiephelan.wordpress.com/ The woman’s a bit of a legend and one of the most original people around, to boot.
Prolly’s blog is the shit, and he’s a dope person as well, was expecting to see his blog on there. how could it be missed?
Great list! Some I already love, some I’ll have to check out!
A few suggestions for new ones: Bike Skirt, Bike Lemming and She Rides a Bike. There are more, but I think these a particularly fun.
Where is eff is John Prolly? weak sauce!
What a day brightener! I read a lot of these blogs, but you’ve introduced me to many more that I look forward to checking out. The only downside for me is the added pressure to stay in your top 50! Thanks for the nod.
I guess I am not part of the cool crowd. ;(
Alexa Rank: 149,760
j/k…great list! There are some great sites on there.

Great list! Even though our site is a little nichey(?), in that it mainly covers cyclocross, please consider ‘In The Crosshairs’ for your next list. Lots of cool interviews and information for the budding ‘crosser. http://www.cxhairs.com.
Thanks!

A lot of these blogs have been aggregated at http://cyclingchainring.com. It’s super easy to keep track of cycling news and headlines this way.
Absolutely great initiative! Great resource for every passionate cyclist!
Enjoy your rides !
