Crank World Cycling Blog Honors: 2010

by Going Slowly
Us

We won Cranklisted's Favorite Commuter/Travel Biking Blog for 2010! Thank you so much to everyone who voted for us! To see the winners in all of the categories, check out this post by Darryl, the friendly guy behind Loving the Bike and Cranklisted.


In the spirit of promoting cycling blogs, here are our some of our friends and favorites:

Travelling Two: Bicycle Touring Inspiration » http://www.travellingtwo.com

It would be hard to find someone more dedicated to the touring community than Friedel Grant. She and her partner Andrew have created one of, if not the most, informative touring websites on the internet.

Newlyweds Cycle the World » http://www.erck.org

We've read Sarah and Jamie's story at least three times through. Their down-to-earth journal helped convince Tara that she really could do this before we left. We're good friends now too, staying in contact via email and our journal regularly. We can't wait to meet you guys!

Ride Earth » http://tom.ride-earth.org.uk

We just found Tom's website, and think his photos and journals are brilliant. He is currently cycling in Mongolia, so we are watching his progress carefully.

Bikeloc » http://www.bikeloc.org

The story of two guys cycling across the US this summer, capturing stories of the local food movement through potlucks. What a great idea; we wish we could go eat with them!


Besides these blogs, there are also plenty of great stories from couples we've communicated with who are either in the planning stages of their trip, or in their first few months of travel. So here's to Manjula & Max, Emma & Justin, Liz & Patrick, Freddie & Guy, Kirby and Rebecca and Sarah & Lachlan! Way to make your dreams a reality!

Congratulations once again on your Crank Listed Honor. To be completely honest, I didn't know about your site prior to the start of Crank Listed 2010....but I definitely know about it now and I'm so glad that I do.
One of the main reasons for doing Crank and the Directory was so that great cycling blogs like yours could be discovered by more people.....looks like it definitely worked.
I'm now a fan of yours and will spend more time checking out the sites you mentioned in this post.

Congratulations! I found out too late that there was such a thing as these awards, so I could not vote nor nominate, but we really enjoy your stories and great pictures.

Good riddance to Blogger/spot, what is your new platform?
Cheers from Ecuador, still (agaian) heading South,
