One recurring theme in our frequent review of the cycling blogosphere is the amount of artwork created of, with, and about the bicycle. So about a year ago, we started a little online side project called The Bicycle is Art. Sadly, the project didn’t get much traction simply because it became too much of a task to search, write, and update the blog. In the daily triage that is small business, it fell by the wayside.

However, we didn’t give up.

Lately we’ve been playing with Tumblr, a simple online blogging platform perfect for re-blogging online photos, videos, and articles. Tumblr is easy to use and oriented towards simple aesthetics – exactly what we were looking for.

Hence, we are pleased to announce the rebirth of The Bicycle is Art:

The new format is simple, elegant, and easy to quickly peruse. And on the backend, we have created some clever (if we do say so ourselves) search tools to scour the Web for the latest bicycle related photography, film, sculpture, and events. Better yet, the new site has a user friendly Submit function that allows anyone to suggest links, videos, or happenings; just select a format (photo, video, link, etc.), type a title, and maybe add a few words.

As you might guess, The Bicycle is Art takes advantage of social media. Along with the website, there is a Twitter component and an RSS feed. Any questions or comments can be directed to thebicycleisart@gmail.com

All-in-all, we are pretty pleased. We hope you like it too.
