I’ve just been wowed by the success of CodeBetter.Com.  We’ve grown to nearly 20K unique daily visitors in just over 6 months. 

Of course the main reason for our success is the twenty unstoppable blogging machines (UBMs) we’ve managed to amass. Really, these guys are outstanding. I’m truly humbled to be blogging with them.

But another factor that I’m intrigued by is that we’re a focused feed.  People just seem to take to the idea that we’re not going to talk (much) about things unrelated to coding. 

Well, I thought I’d see if I can do it again.  Are people going to get sick of the sea of non-sequitur blogs out there, and crave focused feeds in different areas?  I’m betting that they will. A couple of weeks ago I registered CycleBetter.Com.  I’ve set up community server and threw on a quick skin.  The idea is simple. Focused blogging around cycling for mountain bikers, road racers, cyclocross riders, unicyclists, whatever...

I’ve kicked it off with the following post to a few newsgroups.  I’ll let you know how it goes! -B

CycleBetter.Com is currently offering blog, photo sharing and forum accounts for serious cyclists looking to help create a new kind of cycling community online.

No Politics, no Religion, just Cycling

Requirements:  You must have a commitment to writing about topics relating to cycling.  We're not a generic blog site, and if you're looking to start a blog to talk about your cat, CycleBetter.Com is not the place for you.  There are plenty of free, general blogging places out there if you feel like the world needs another soap-box, and you have something to say.

We're hoping to create a place for focused blogging around cycling and have a strong commitment to keeping a clean main feed.  This means that if you subscribe to the main feed of CycleBetter.Com, you will find one thing - people passionate about and writing about bikes.

Thanks!
