Sigh. Go on then.

Here's a super special review of BikeCircle.com that we're only doing so they'll stop sending us e-mails telling us to mention their site.


What do dromidaries have to do with cycling? Apparently enough for a llama shaped thing to be on the front page of the site. This one isn't quite as good as the camel Oscar Pereiro raced against.


The forums are a bit barren and we don't really understand what anybody is talking about. But at least it's not VeloRiders.


The site is crammed full with all that web 2.0 functionality stuff that's all about interacting with virtual environments and sharing ideas and whinging about your school friends. It's like MySpace for cyclists, only better because you're less likely to get a million friend requests from floppy-haired, leather jacket clad bands with a token fat female bass player.

Conclusion
Official score: 9/10, mainly because we keep appearing on the "featured members" section on the front page. We're all for the idea of a global cycling community, even if it means that we might have to actually speak to some cycling fans. If you sign up, make sure to add us to your friends list so we get the fun opportunity to pretend not to be frightened when you start telling us how we're the only site who say what you're really thinking and maybe we should go for a drink with you at your local in Ashby De La Zouch.


Some old updates that aren't entirely awful


And there'll be even more coming to this spot just as soon as we can be bothered trawling through our somewhat embarrassing archives.

Simon and Anthony


Nigel and company


Johnathan & friends, even though they're always last with the news and the website is horrible


Dutch cyclists we like because they're better/more attractive than British riders

Bobke Strut is so good that it deserves a category of its own

Arrr, bike pirates

George!

Things we hate so much we're not even going to link to them

  • Trust But Verify
  • Trek
  • Assos

Our e-mail inbox isn't just for Japanese gambling promotions and the latest advances in penis enlargement chemistry, you know

What's the word "derailed" got to do with bikes anyway?

  • Err... bikes have things called derailleurs? Apart from track bikes, which don't.

If derailleurs evolved from fixies, how come there are still fixies?

  • Survival of the fixest.
