this is like winning the pulitzer prize

A large number of the readers of this blog make it here from links on bikecommuters.com. To those of you, this will not be news. To everyone else, it probably will be.

As of this week, I will be a contributing writer on the bikecommuters.com site. I am officially the resident newbie - by roughly 8 years. I did my first post for their site yesterday.

I am excited about the opportunity to post content to a much larger and heavily trafficked site. Fear not loyal friends: I will continue to post items on this blog as well. In addition, BJ aka Will will also join me in posting on this blog as he chronicles his adventure into the world of bike commuting.

I anticipate - and this is not a promise by any means - that this blog will begin to shift more towards the personal and not so much the generic. The posts I do for bikecommuters will be more geared (ha - get it?) towards encouraging people to consider/take-up bike commuting, while the posts here on the Velorution will (most likely) drift towards my personal reflections on bike commuting. During my "August commuting project" I had hoped to write often about the social and "philosophical" side of bike commuting - but in all reality I wrote more about the what and not the why. I intend to write more of the why here.

So do not fret dear reader, for the Velorution has not forgotten you.
