Crank Honors 2012: Top Dogs of Cycling Blogs

It’s time to determine the top dogs of the cycling blogs once again.  This is the third time we’ve held the Crank Honors where people vote up their favorite cycling blogs and celebrate all the goodness they have to offer.

I want to start off by saying that Loving the Bike simply holds these honors each year and we don’t allow ourselves to be in on the running.  We have 6 categories again this year (Road, Mountain Bike, Commuter, Women’s, Travel, and Lifestyle) and below are each of the polls.

Feel free to also check out our Crank Listed Directory that includes the World’s Cycling Blogs.

Voting Information:

  • Vote for one of the blogs that are included in the poll, or add your own favorite in the “Other” space provided.  If enough votes come in for a blog that isn’t listed in the poll, we’ll add them in.
  • You can vote once per day for each category, so be sure to come back often and vote your favorite into the top dog spot.
  • Polls are open from right now through June 1, 2012

Let the Voting Begin:

Enjoy Your Ride

    The Velominati link only leads to a “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” page.

    I had to mention Kent’s bike blog. The man is a star and an inspiration.

    I am really surprised that Lovely Bicycle isn’t on the list. And Bikeface for that matter

    • Darryl is Loving the Bike on May 16, 2012 at 8:09 am

      Hey Justin. The blogs in the poll are just a starting point. As more nominations and recommendations come in, we’ll be changing them around. We have now added bikey face.

    • Archergal on May 16, 2012 at 8:08 pm

      I added in Lovely Bicycle under Lifestyle blogs.

      I read almost none of the other blogs listed.

Sugar Alternatives for Energy and Hydration

Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea).  I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean “lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.

My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.

Answer:

Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out.  Have you tried either of these?  Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.
