You may have noticed posts have been a bit sparse around here for the last couple of weeks. That's because I've been flat chat setting up a new blog called Cycle EXIF, which went live this week.

The aim of Cycle EXIF is to profile the best of custom, classic bikes and design icons, captured by great photography. You'll see bikes of all genre, from fixed gear freestyle bikes to vintage roadies, to downhill bikes, BMX, MTB, cyclocross bikes and even the odd conversion. There'll be a different bike six days a week. Needless to say, if you've got a bike that you think would be a suitable contribution, and have some great photos of it, feel free to get in contact. Head on over and have a look, we're on Facebook too. If you like bicycles, you'll love Cycle EXIF.
