Pro Cycling on Twitter: A Fan's Guide

by ZoeRochelle on Dec 4, 2008 12:02 AM EST Comment 20 comments

If you don't use Twitter, you might be tired of hearing about it on PdC. If so, turn away. There is an imaginary 2009 Gent-Wevelgem Live Thread (courtesy of Ursula) on the main page as I write this. It includes a poll too. How exciting! You might want to move along and go vote for the imaginary winner.

Now, onto the proof of my cycling fan geekiness...

I have compiled a linky list of Pro Cycling on Twitter. I made it for myself but thought others might find it useful.

There's a lot more general cycling culture people on Twitter but since there's a good chance it will grow I am attempting to keep this to Pro Road only. Otherwise it could get out of hand. Feel free to add in comments here any I have missed so I can update the list.

If you are on Twitter I am easy to find: ZoeRochelle.

a mystery of the modern ages

Twitter. Why?

by Sui Juris on Dec 4, 2008 8:50 AM EST reply actions 0 recs

Because

people were having difficulty blogging from restaurants.

Huh

I never really progressed beyond “see food” for my restaurant diversions.

That's because

you’re normal.

I think Chris is baiting me. Its ok Chris. I am well aware of my oddness.

I like to call it uniqueness though.

I don't have much of an opinion on Twitter

(nothing bad, nothing good) but really, why?

I'll get a little "Why I Twitter" post up later. Gotta try to get some work done.

But mainly I follow some very interesting people and businesses. I learn a lot on Twitter and laugh a lot.

IMHO

It’s just a different form of access, which happens to work better for some people than using a computer. Also, the technology tends to force the content into smaller bites, which makes the presence unique. Add a dash of salt, and you’ve got a yummy treat.

Uh...

I’m not entirely sure you have the right Slipstream linked:

I have the house to myself for the next 36 hours. Time for Ale and Whores!

And now it is time to clean the cat box. Thank you, I’m here all week! Try the malt wine, it is delicious.

Unpacking more boxes. Why do I have so much stuff?

Try TeamSlipstream instead. ;-)

I'd rather hear about

Ale and whores, but that probably isn’t a surprise.

yikes! Got it right now, I think.

Who in their right mind doesn't find this entertaining?

I love this stuff. Today on Twitter Lance is giving Chris Horner a bad time about being a redneck. He is now attempting to convince Chris to get on Twitter.
