it seems like only yesterday that brocycle.com became a reality. for those of us that lived with alan barton, it seemed like a joke. but now that brocycle has reached its maturity, we can all look back and agree: this shit is for real. with so much exposure to the throbbing, grinding swarms of cyclophiles, brocycle has become what some might call a legend in its own time.
but before we launch into everything that makes this site great, let's take a step back into history. a look into the past; a plunging dive into the bubbling, steaming, darwinian primordial brew from whence brocycle.com was born...

birmingham cycling blog.
i know it's kind of gay but it could be fun
anyway

like a commuter blog? or a general cycling blog?
what kind of shit would we write about?
----
commuter probably. oh and i saw two cute girls riding road bikes down
university last night on my way to jill's
----
shit! cute cycling girls?
we should post flyers for a bike commuter party. and then at said parties you can be my derailleurman... which i think is the bike-appropriate term for wingman. i need to date a commuter hottie.
so i imagine this blog as some sort of forum for you to bitch about traffic and stupid drivers, but what other kind of stuff do you want to write about? i think poetry would be nice. commuter haikus.
----
exactly all of the above. post flyers for the blog at bike racks and
shit and coffee shops
and just post random shit having to do with commuting.
but we need a cool name
we should just focus on the name
----
so this is more like a forum for bike commuters?
name ideas:
derailleur
crank
toeclip
lever
triangle
wheel
spoke
shifter
cable
cassette
bracket
bunny hop
prostate swelling
genital numbness
choadblog
brocycle
bearing
----
i choose brocycle.blogspot.com

(end)
and there you have it.
