on Google+

It’s been pretty exciting over at Google+ this week, and we’re feeling sort of like G+ Pioneers over here.  On Monday, Google announced that they had just made it possible for companies, websites, and brands to create a page….so we got right on it.  It’s always hard to be a step ahead of a guy like Cyclelicious, and of course he was already set up once I jumped in.  But Loving the Bike, Cyclelicous and Bicycle Design were the first three cycling blogs to set up G+ pages. Throughout the day several other cycling blogs had joined in and now that it’s been a couple days, Google Plus is swarming with cycling websites, blogs, and pages.

Looking back it’s going to be cool to say that we were a part of Google+ from the first day it started.  I’m still not sure what to make of this new social media platform and it seems like that’s the general consensus…but it will be neat to watch how it all plays out.

If you are on G+, please add us to your Circle.  We look forward to seeing you over there for some good times….of course we’re still on Twitter and Facebook as well.  Yes, the life of a blogger just became more complex.

Last’s week’s Classmate Happenings post was very well received so we thought we’d follow it up with another week of happenings from our fellow classmates at #bikeschool.  Not only is #bikeschool the coolest hour on Twitter and takes place each Thursday night at 9PM EST….it’s also a great hashtag to follow on a daily basis.  You never know what you’ll find, or what someone might say.

National Taco Day

You know how #bikeschool’ers feel about tacos…..so yesterday was definitely an important one for all of us.  Thanks to @twittyboyd for filling us in on this oh so important day and I hope you all took a moment to salute the #TacoMakingRobot and eat a few tacos.

(NOTE:  Could it be?  Was @tweetyboyd actually wrong?  Looks like National Taco Day is actually today.  Oh well, nothing wrong with celebrating this one two days in a row)

Loving the Run goes Biking

Yes it is true….our run loving sister has been seen Loving the Bike, and they wanted everyone at #bikeschool to know about it.

You Have How Many T-Shirts?

A conversation with @futuremrschaps last week was the inspiration for one of Thursday’s #bikeschool questions.  When we found out that Krissy had a total of 52 cycling t-shirts in her closet, we just had to find out if anyone else could even come close.  The question was asked and there wasn’t anyone who could touch her….have a look into her closet:

#bikeschool Spam

As far as we know, #bikeschool received its first official “hate” tweet last week.  It seems like some people don’t really dig their tweet stream getting clogged up with #bikeschool tweets on Thursday nights. Can we help it if we’re just that popular?  We do apologize to @Velocentric, and seeing as their Twitter bio states “We love bikes & believe everyone should”….we’re sure they understand our love for #bikeschool.

Tweet of the Week

One thing that’s for sure is that each week @bdix73 is going to come up with a tweet to knock you off your chair.  We’re giving Bobby the tweet of the week…which just happens to be in reply to what @Velocentric had to say:

See you all at #bikeschool on Thursday at 9PM EST.
