Your fans are waiting!
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.

Lots of good resources on your page! I'm going to check out some of those road cycling training books from Amazon. There are books and road biking videos on QBike as well. I'd like to see some of your favorite youtube videos as a new section.
