- Some of the topics
- Apart from topics like bike commuting, utility cycling, and cycling in general, other items of discussion included:
-
- bike lanes in the City of Melbourne
- the Eastlink Path upgrade (Doc Homebrew's pet gripe for much of the year)
- the Hell Ride came up for discussion again (but if I can help it I really don't want to talk about it again in 2008 or beyond)
- the mangement (or otherwise) of Melbourne's public transport
- my self-inflicted knee injury
- Speedlinking
- I started
speedlinking
in August. The idea was just to beef-up my occasional Friday photo with a more regular collection of stuff I'd recently found interesting. Talk about lazing blogging… Anyway I hope readers have found those entries interesting also; a handful of comments suggest that at least a few people are reading them.
- Referrers
- I'll tip the helmet to more referring sites this year (mainly because there were more). The top thirty referrers for 2007 appear to have been:
-
- cyclelicio.us
- Spinopsys
- commutebybike.com
- Tweed Coast Treadly
- goclipless.com
- Surly Dave
- planetcycling.org
- pedaller
- Bike Iowa
- Chris L
- My Bicycle Musings
- Narragansett Bay Wheelmen
- Vidman
- bikeyear
- London Cycling Diary
- revrunnerusa.blogspot.com [404]
- Adrian Fitch
- tucorides
- Wheels of Justice
- Marvellous Melbourne
- melbourne.metblogs.com
- blog.bumsonthesaddle.com
- cycle life
- Crowlie
- Research Trailer Park
- Spacing Toronto
- Rhys Smith
- cfsmtb
- Wikipedia
- bikesfortransportyeah
-
It's interesting that some of these sites sent a large number of links on one topic (e.g. Spacing Toronto, Wikipedia), while others sent small numbers on a large range of topics (e.g. Spinopsys, London Cycling Diary). Anyway, thanks to all of them and, not neglecting the Long Tail, even bigger thanks to to anyone who has posted a link to this site somewhere else on the 'net (e.g. the folks who posted links to treadly.net on forums like BV Forums, cyclingforums.com.au, and Treehugger).
Two-Wheeled Love Affair—if you missed it back in April, do yourself a favour and give it a read.
Best wishes for 2008—and naturally that means a year filled with plenty of good cycling.

Woo! I'm number one! :-)
I realize Phil's moved on to better and greater with Sydney Cyclist, but I still lament the passing of Spinopsys. I enjoyed that one.
Thanks for creating Treadly & Me and I look forward to more in 2008.
Thanks for that Fritz, and the same back at you with cyclelicio.us.
Yeah, Phil is still doing great stuff on Sydney Cyclist—it's effectively a relocation of Spinopsys, but I think his old site is going to remain a valuable resource for some time to come.
