New Blog: The Cycling Gentleman

A friend of mine once described his family as "a project-oriented people"; well, I guess that goes for me, too. Because I don't have enough to do with a dissertation, several articles, and a book-length editing project in the works, I've decided to launch another blog. This one is called The Cycling Gentleman and I'll let my alter ego explain what it's about:

The Cycling Gentleman follows the trend of sites like Chic Cyclist,Copenhagen Cycle Chic, and Urban Cycle Chic in presenting and advocating everyday bicycle fashion. Unlike these sites, which tend to focus primarily on female cyclists, The Cycling Gentleman presents cycling style strictly from a gentleman’s perspective. Why only gentleman? Frankly, we need the most help! In addition to combing the interwebs for examples of stylish modern-day Cycling Gentlemen, I will also be posting material from the cycling past to inspire and inform.

Of course, the Old Bike Blog will still be my first best way to waste time online, but I'm pretty jazzed about the possibilities of The Cycling Gentleman. I'll be officially "launching" next week, making the rounds to announce the new blog, but I wanted to give OBB readers first peek. Right now, there's just a welcome message posted, but within the next few days, I hope to have the first round of posts up. If you would like to contribute to The Cycling Gentleman, email me at: cyclingentleman[at]gmail[dot]com.
