Author Cool & Useful Bike Stuff on the Web
The late Sheldon Brown was the king of web pages devoted to helping cyclists. He had useful lists, photos, and gadgets scattered all over his website. I have used his gear calculator a time or two; as well as his aptly named, Wild Guesses of value for Selected Vintage Lightweights.
More cool stuff I like
David Mann’s Bike Frame Geometry Project is an ever-expanding database of bike frame angles and other useful data.
Joel’s collection of obscure brake photos and info.
Vintage Treks very EcoVelo-like in my book are covered thouroughly here.
Here’s a site devoted to Bike E recumbents. It’s interesting to me that long after a for-profit company has gone belly up, people will give freely of their time and resources to perpetuate the brand and provide valuable information. I’m not making any political statement here, just thinking out loud.
For iBOBs and other bikelist.org subscribers, Jim’s iBOB Mailing List Reader has to be the coolest thing out there. I use it every day.
There are too many calculators to list but let me put in a plug for this Mac OS X spoke calculator.
If you have something special in your bookmarks, please share it with us.
