As most of you who read this blog already know, there have been a lot of changes to it since January. Our biggest change occurred when your Oude Granny managed to down a 2 liter of Mountain Dew (its all good, it was diet!) in one sitting and revamp the entire blog template.
For those of you who weren't around before the template change, let's just say that it was a much needed improvement. (I now receive a lot of "its pretty" comments.)
Blowin' Up?
Next order of business is the newest item on our blog, the banner for Blogburst. If you haven't clicked on the banner yet, Blogburst is a "syndication service that places blogs on top-tier online destinations."
It's a service that accepts blogs by invitation only (although if you go to their site you can actually request a review of your blog and an invitation). But I was greatly surprised, given the fact that we didn't think we were reaching a great number of people, when I received an email invitation to join the Blogburst community. Apparently, our content was reaching the "right" people.
So what does this all mean? The Triple Crankset is now available to some of the top-tier online news services, like USA Today, Reuters, Rodale, etc. So you may, hopefully in the near future, see one of our posts on one of these major sites.
TSTWKT
For those first time visitors, as well as to our frequent readers, you may have seen the set of links on the right navigation bar with the header, TSTWKT. The acronym was actually taken from a Lance Armstrong quote in Daniel Coyle's book, "Lance Armstrong's War," and stands for The S&^t That Will Kill Them. Armstrong used this phrase to describe the new technologies that Trek or his other sponsors would come up with each year to help him in his Tour de France quests.
In the context of our blog, we've listed some of our favorite (alright Oude Granny's favorite) cycling related items, from bike lube to messenger bags. The list will be a dynamic one and not static, although it hasn't changed as of late.
I'll try to review one of the products every once in a while and tell you why I chose to single it out among all the various cycling products out there.
So what better place to start than at the top...Vanilla Bicycles.
