Maybe you have been riding recreationally for a while and are interested in giving racing a try. On the other hand, maybe you would rather just watch what is going on in the world of pro racing. Either way, the links below are a great place to start.
Bicycle racing is a lot of fun, whether you are participant or a spectator. So what are you waiting for? Read on.
Pro racing news sites
- VeloNews
- This is the site of the magazine that is subtitled "the Journal of Competitive Cycling." A great source for race news and technical reports about high end bikes.
- Cycling News
- An Australian site that features racing news from around the world. This site is upated often and is a great place to find race results quickly.
- Pez Cycling News
- Another road racing site with interesting articles. This site brings you cycling coverage from a slightly different perspective. I like it; see for yourself.
- Daily Peloton
- Another great source for racing news with message boards and a chat room
- Cycle Sport
- In my opinion, the best print magazine that covers professional cycling
- USA Cycling Pro Championships
- These are races in Greenville, SC to determine the US Pro champions in road racing and time trialing.
Blogs about bike racing
- Tour de France blog
- A great blog for anyone following the Tour de France. Additional pro cycling news makes this site a good all around source for racing information.
- Spare Cycles
- An excellent blog with cycling photography and race coverage (International and Northern California)
- Cycling Shots
- Eric's blog features some good photographs of racing action.
- Neil@Road
- A great blog from the editor of Road magazine. If you are interested in road cycling and racing, I recommend that you get your hands on a copy of this magazine.
- Bicycle Design
- This is my blog about bike design. It is not always about racing, but I cover the latest in racing bike design fairly often.
So you want to race?
- USA Cycling
- The official website of USA Cycling, the governing body of both amateur and pro bicycle racing in the United States. For road, track, or cyclocross racing you will need a USCF license. A NORBA license is required for mountain bike racing
Lens of the day! (sort of)
I should pay more attention. I just noticed that several months ago, Bicycle Racing was listed, along with two other cycling lenses, as lens of the day. What an honor. Too bad I didn't know it at the time. Still, it is not too late to check out the link.http://www.squidoo.com/lensoftheday/?p=133

- I guess I'm one of the few Americans that actually enjoys bicycle racing, even with all the issues the sport has had over the past few years, it's a great spectator sport.
