Welcome Back!
This is the second week of Bicycle Stories Month, so if you were interested last week but didn’t quite get around to taking part you are in luck. You still have until Saturday May 31st to share your adventures in cycling. Why wait though you can enter as many posts as you like throughout the month.
How Does this event work?
- I’ll make an Event post each Thursday in May that I’ll stick to my home page for one week (Note this is the page for this week). It will be posted at 8:00am EST.
- You create a post for your bicycle story
- Use the tag Bicycle Stories Month and/ or include a Pingback to the weekly event post (again that’s this page)
- On the following Tuesday, I’ll post a round-up of and/ or reblog some of my favorites. (entries made after the round-up is posted will be eligible for the following week’s round-up)
How do I participate?
If you’d like to participate then just get out on your bike and then post about it. That’s it, no prompts no specific challenge to it just lets tell stories about bikes for a month. Your post can be in any format your comfortable with and just needs to be broadly about cycling.
- A story or journal entry about your day out biking.
- A photo essay showing places you visited on your bike (it’d be nice to include some pictures of your bikes).
- A journalism piece about a bicycle event in your community.
- The tale of teaching you child or sibling how to ride
- When you got your first bike
- Tell us why you hate riding a bike.
- A how to on bike repairs
- Anything you want just as long as it involves a bike, even a complete work of fiction.
Do we get a badge?
Absolutely, if you want a badge to include on your blog or in your post then feel free to grab a copy of the logo for the event, and stick it anywhere it makes you happy. Here it is again in case you missed it at the top of the page.

Corned Beef Hashtag 
I’m not likely to ride my bike, so I fear any post from me would be purely fiction, and only tangentially related to bikes. Maybe. I may have to consider it a challenge.
Mind you, it’s slightly sad that I have a bike to myself, and I don’t ride it. Hell, I have an exercise bike, and don’t ride that. Goodness. I should get moving more.
Me too, half the reason I started this event is to motivate myself to get on my more often, I’ll have to say it is working to some degree. I fully understand that it’s not for everyone
I saw bicycle stories, and I thought it was going to be an homage to Flann O’Brien. I can’t go out on my bike, its in bed with a flat tyre.
