A big ego-boost!

Wooooo-Hoooooo!!!

I got my first positive review at The Cycling Dude by Kiril, The Mad Macedonian. His site is [d]edicated to the proposition that bike riding is good for you and fun. An ordinary road cyclist spreads the word and the word is BICYCLE! It's been ranked America's #1 BikeBlog Since January 2003. It's no big surprise since it's packed with tons of links and other pertinent information on pretty much everything that has to do with bikes.

What a freakin' ego boost. Yesterday Kiril posted this to his blog, highlighting his favorite Bicycle Diaries posts:

Welcoming a new BikeBlogger, from the Wilds of Chicago!

Bicycle Diaries is an interesting mix of things.

Books, Bicycles, and Isaiah Berlin.

Quite the combination for a new Blog, but that's what was born in May, in Chicago. ;-D

This Blogger's Bike Posts are why I've added him to the Blogroll, though he has education, politics, and culture on his mind as well.

If this is an indication of the type of BikeBlogging to come then this is a worthy addition to the Community. ;-D

• Why Bikes?
• Why Bikes? 2.

For those of you who have read my archives of posts on Critical Mass, and thus know what I think of the movement, here is are 2 interesting, welll thought out, essays, on Critical Mass in Chicago, that offers the perspective of someone obviously not of the extremist, Anarchist, wing of the movement.
