Got chainrings?

In my never-ending quest of giving reviews that don't mean a damn thing to most people, today I'm mentioning BikeBlogCollection.com. Stated simply as "the best collection of bike blogs for people who ride", it seems to be a great way to ride vicariously through other riders not in your part of the world.

The cool thing about it though, is that it's primarily user-submitted, with a submission form on the side. It's not just a set of links that someone is out randomly scouring the net for, rather actual riders are submitting their blogs, looking for readers.

A blogroll link on the side provides all the categories one might think of when looking for interesting bike blogs, including Bike Advocacy, Bike builders, Bike culture, Bike Humor, Bike manufacturers, Bike mechanics, Bike Shops, Bike touring, Miscellaneous, Mountain bike racers, Pro Racers, Road racers, and Singlespeed or fixed. The links in the blogroll include the blog author's description as to why you should read their blog.

The featured blog each month is picked in a technogeek sort of way, the submission form states, "How can I get my blog as the Featured blog one month? When you submit your blog, you are begged to provide a link back to BikeBlogCollection. Google Analytics of the site shows where the most traffic to the site came from, how many were unique visitors, how many pages were visited, and how long was spent on the site. Those 4 factors are taken in to consideration, with the highest one becoming the featured blog each month. So basically, get the word out about BikeBlogCollection, and we'll get the word out about you!"

If you have time in your busy day, check out the site, maybe read a few blogs that look interesting to you, and submit your own, who knows where in the world they might be reading about your adventures.
