Women’s Bike Blogs: The Comprehensive List

Or, to be more descriptive, The Really Big Possibly Comprehensive Exhaustive Exhausting List of Women’s Blogs About Riding Bikes. Or Bicycles.

The story of how I built the list appears at the end in case you’re interested.

I decided I should start sharing the great content I found in this quest so I created the Twitter account @WomenBikeBlogs, which features new blogs and feeds links to new posts from previously featured blogs. The associated Facebook page has the news feeds as well.

This is a quest that will never end, so ladies (and the men who read their blogs), it’s your turn.

If you know of a currently active blog written by a woman that focuses on biking or includes enough bike-related content that you think of it as a bike blog, fill out the form below (after you look at the list to see if it’s already on there!).

I will update the live list every so often with your entries. The list is a bit out of date–I’ll get to it one of these days.

Note on Cycle Chic blogs: They are their own list at the bottom; not all are maintained by women and I haven’t gone through to confirm authorship.

If you’re so inspired by some of these that you start your own biking blog don’t forget to come back and add it to the list!

And now for The List, with Twitter handles and geographic location where I could determine that.

The Genesis of “The (Pretty Darned) Comprehensive List of Women’s Bike Blogs

That’s quite a claim in the title. I’m putting it out there because I’ve searched and searched and either it’s on page 200 of the Google results or it’s not out there. Or, well–it is out there now because it’s here.

My hunt started in fall of 2010 quite innocently with a Google search: women’s bike blogs list. I figured someone, somewhere, had compiled something like this.

But—eerily reminiscent of my earlier search for a list of Spokane blogs (described on my personal blog)—I only found small personal lists people had compiled as blog posts. I tweaked the search terms (women’s biking blogs, ladies cycling, etc.), tried again, lather-rinse-repeat any number of times.

At the time Wikipedia’s entry on Cycle Chic only listed 17, which isn’t even a comprehensive list of just the blogs with Cycle Chic in their names. I found a couple of small directories but you have to know they’re out there and submit your blog directly, which doesn’t create a comprehensive list as effectively as an active search. Obsession has its up side.

I already subscribed to some great blogs so I started following links from blogrolls. I realized I was getting lost in which ones I’d seen and which ones I hadn’t. I started a spreadsheet to keep track.

Then it dawned on me—I was building “the comprehensive list of women’s cycling blogs” I had been seeking.

The well-known blogs like Let’s Go Ride a Bike and BikeShopGirl show up again and again, and justifiably so. The real sense of discovery, however, lay in finding a blog that wasn’t on anyone else’s blogroll.

Those serendipitous links kept me going and took me into various nooks and crannies of the biking world from racing to mountain biking to biking mommy bloggers, freestyle BMX competitors, fashionistas and photographers, to name a few.

Notes on my system:

The basic list of links appears here in alphabetical order; all blog titles that begin with an actual numeral appear first.

I capitalized blogs beginning with “A” under A and those with “The” under the letter T. That’s what an electronic sort does for you, for one thing. And for another thing as a writer I could never understand why alphabetizing should disregard articles anyway. They carry meaning. The author chose a word or the words. So there they are.

I included male/female teams as long as the female voice is really represented on the blog.

And there you have it: What I believe is the web’s biggest list of women’s bike blogs. Happy reading!

Reader Comments

  1. I’ve just come across this website and I’m looking forward to reading more of it – and many of the blogs on this list. Can you add mine to the list, too? It’s about my experiences of cycling in London as a 30-something writer and editor: cyclingwithheels.wordpress.com Thanks!

  2. We have created a product that we believe will be great tool for women who love to ride!! It is a multi-tool that eliminates the need to travel around with huge backpacks.

    So far a lot of women have told us that this idea and we officially launch tomorrow at 8am!

    It is called Repair Rebel and we are receiving a lot of great feedback on it!

    Our Kickstarter page has several images depicting the many functions of the tool as well as bullet points and a diagram.

    http://kck.st/13yeXHE

  3. Hello – I would like to submit my recent blog highlighting the adventures of our spring 2013 bicycle tour from Fargo, North Dakota to New Orleans, Louisiana…..along the Mighty Mississippi River. The cycle tour followed sections of the Mississippi River Trail, the Paul Bunyan Trail, the Trans America Trail, the Trace (Land Between the Lakes, Kentucky) the Natchez Trace and the American Cycling Association Great RIvers South route.

  4. Hi – Ive just started a bike blog covering the thrills, pains, and achievements of my journey to taking part in the London Ride 100 event in August. Ive written a couple of posts and have just started my training. 100 miles is going to be a challenge, I did 10 last night, it’s a start, we all need to start somewhere!

  5. Thank you so much for adding my blog to your list – it’s very much appreciated that you’ve gathered this comprehensive list and that Inspired by the Bike is a part of it.

    Best!
    Rebecca

  6. Wow, that is one very impressive list! It is good to see more women blogging about cycling, maybe it will encourage more women to actually throw a leg over 😉 I am off to have a look at some of these blogs now. Thanks for compiling it!

  7. Love this list! Thanks so much for adding us to it. We’re in Pittsburgh and are planning a lot of exciting events/projects for this year to put more women on bikes.

  8. What a great idea! Thank you for compiling a list. I would love to be added if you are accepting.

    http://ladypedaler.blogspot.com/

    I’m new to cycling and am trying to fill a void in my part of town in Southern California (Los Angeles area) and help ladies get more comfortable and involved in cycling, sharing my learning experiences and product knowledge (or lack there of) along the way!

  9. Hi,
    Wow, what a wonderful idea, thanks for this huge list !

    Would you eventually accept to add my blog to your list, even thoug it’s written in French ?

    http://velodecoursepourleplaisir.com/

    I write an article once a week about tricks that can help you having more fun on your bike.
    I wonder if it might interest French speaking cyclists from Quebec ? or expats ?
    Would love to be included 🙂
    Antoinette (from Switzerland)

  10. The list can’t capture all the influence–no list can. It does include Twitter handles and I’ve started collecting Facebook page links, so a future update will have those as well. I’m not seeking to be “the analytics of women bike bloggers” source–just a gathering space to let us learn from and connect with each other. I hope it brings everyone lots of readers!

  11. Hi ! What a great nod to women cyclists everywhere!

    I have two blogs that I love to work on…always finding new rides and exploring somewhere!
    I love reading other’s blogs when I’m traveling as they show a side of a ride that is just a little more interesting than a map! My blog for easy riding for families and little old ladies (like me…) is http://www.letsgobiking.net and my personal blog of rides I have done is colleenrides.com

    Thanks for the great list!

  12. Wow – what a great list! I hoped you might want to add my blog to it – its a travelog of a trip from England to Bangkok by bike, written half by myself and half by my boyfriend at http://www.rolling-tales.com, twitter handle @RollingTales

  13. Hi Barb! I met Heather in Albuquerque after we both got off the scenic bosque Bike trail here is Albuquerque and she mentioned your blog to me! She is from Washington state and I am not sure if you know each other…but she sure promoted your blog and I am glad she did! It is a small world. Nicetomeetya! Signed up on your site to be a part of….below, the Stepping Beyond is my cycling blog!
    Hope all is well with you !
    Kind thoughts,

  14. Now , obviously the carry on of Thomas and his team mates was just a few lads having the craic and Nicholas Roche comes across on twitter as a really nice down to earth guy , just as he does in his book but would any of this make you want to get up at 5 am to get out training on your bike in order to emulate your heros ?

  15. Count me as one who has been inspired by this list to start my own blog.

    I am in Lexington, KY

  16. Cycling Chic Copenhagen has started a global movement — we can see many links pointing to Mikael’s blog (not ‘her’ indeed). This sub-community is rocking the blogosphere, or shall say women are rocking it! Women bloggers are a definite force to be reckoned with in the cycling world.

  17. With Interbike so close, it felt appropriate to refresh this list, which has grown considerably. Like last time, this partial list only looks at blogger influence and not twitter, Facebook or soon Google+ influences.

  18. Thank you so much for adding me to the list, but can you change my location to Australia please?

  19. Thank you SO MUCH for including my blog Bike Ladies Unite on your list! When you update the post, you can list me as based in CA, US. If you add topics, please put BLU’s as general and feminism. Again, it was a wonderful surprise to see it on your list.

    David & Karen: On a Bicycle Built for Two!

    Karen Etchells writes about experiences she and her husband, David, share with their enthusiasm for tandem cycling. As active 40-somethings, aspects of parenting and family, eating well, and maintaining good health are common topics.

  21. Oh, on the “semi-united front” front–I thought of designing a little icon we could all display on our blogs. There are so many and the list keeps changing so it’s not realistic for all to link to all, but if all link to the list then the list drives traffic back out to the blogs on the list. So far today over 200 people have looked at blogs and it’s only 7:30 a.m. my time.

  22. Aha! April, you solved the mystery. Traffic to the blog shot off the charts (relative to past performance) yesterday and is already spiked this morning beyond a normal day. Thank you! Getting featured on a Portland bike blog is like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval 🙂

  23. Wow, this list is amazing! Now it’s time to kill Thanksgiving break reading every single one. And thanks in advance for including my blog (Speeding Pedalcycle)! 🙂

  24. Hi, Barb!

    Incredible list. wow.wow.wow.
    This morning’s post on Girlsonbikes.org mentions the list. I wish there was some way we could all be collaborative and present a semi-united front! Perhaps this list is the start.

    In case you are updating, girlsonbikes.org (me) is located in Portland, OR

  25. Thanks for contacting me. What an extensive list! Never knew there were so many other women cyclists out there who blog. I’m just starting but hopefully I’ll contribute enough to warrant a spot on your list.

  26. I added mine through your online form above. Great list! Would prefer that the list focused primarily on cycling blogs by women bloggers.

  27. Hi !
    Thanks for this list, I will enjoy looking through them all.

    I live (and ride lots) in the Vancouver BC area
    but also travel around and bike wherever I go

    I have 2 bike blogs that I maintain, one is for easy cycling for kids, families, little-old-lady riders, etc
    It is called Let’s Go Biking and the url is http://www.letsgobiking.net/

    The other blog is for rides I have enjoyed and think others might, or cycle travelling around the world, or for interesting links and articles on Bike Clothing, etc.
    It is called Cycling Cycling Cycling and the url is http://www.colleenrides.com/

    If possible, could you add these to your list? Much appreciated ! ~ Colleen MacDonald

  28. Hello,

    I’ve seen the list of bike blogs.

    Is it possible including my website to you list??

    Womensbike.net

    I hope my posts could be interesting for women bike world, and i hope you’ll enjoy it!

    Thanks

  29. Thank you for adding me to your list. My blog is “I Never Promised You an Organic Garden”. It is exciting to see so many other women cyclists. Here in Richmond, Indiana there are not very many women cyclists and certainly not many women bike commuters.

    If you would like to add it to the list, my twitter handle is beckymckimmy (http://twitter.com/#!/BeckyMcKimmy)

  30. What a great idea! I look forward to the adventure of working my way through your list and discovering some neat bike blogs that I was unaware of. Thank you for putting this list together!

  31. I’m flattered you included my blog Vélocouture; it is written by a man (me) but as much of the content is reader-sourced, a lot of it (perhaps most of it?) comes from women who document their experiences.

    I’m on twitter too so you can add that. @patrickbarber. All best.

    Patrick

  32. Glad you stopped by, Low!

    I started trying to categorize the blogs so you could find them by interests. Some are quite clear: they’re about racing, or cyclocross, or mountain biking, or fashion, or touring, or whatever. Others are personal blogs that roam across lots of topics, with biking in there a little or a lot, and the categories were all my own assessment of the primary focus.

    I may give it a try on the next update, though–put up a table format with a couple of cells for primary and secondary topics and invite the bloggers to tell me if I got them right.

    In creating the list I logged a lot of Internet miles and didn’t stop to evaluate every blog’s topic so completing the table will definitely take some time. It would add to the utility and I want this to be a growing resource.

  33. Thanks for including the Grease Rag! Might want to add: @greaseragmpls

    I think it would be interesting to know what people look for when they look for bike blogs written by women, because there are so many different types out there! I personally love blogs that show the day-to-day accessibility of biking, blogs written by women that live in the midwest cities, and blogs that have enthusiasm for living car-free and I love to read about new and exciting ways that women are encouraging each other to bike.

    I know that others are more into fitness, or fashion, and probably a ton of other sub-genres that I don’t even know about! I’m curious about what people read and why. Do you have any ideas about that?

    Our blog is a collaborative blog about teaching mechanical skills to WTF (women/ trans/ femme) cyclists in Minneapolis, riding together, and socializing. Thanks again for the shout-out!

    -Low

  34. WOW – no idea how you found me, but I am pleased as punch to be included in the list! As of late, the bike blog has been more about running than cycling, but I am ever inspired to keep it up, with much thanks to you and other ladies out there!
