I’ve come across a mess of awesome websites recently in my search for good online biking content. So much, in fact, that I’ve decided it would be fun to post a weekly cool blog of the week, here on BikeMinneapolis. When I started BikeMinneapolis a few years ago (rather feebly, I admit), it was my intent to put the bike community first, and foremost. I believe I can contribute to that goal, by sharing some fun sites that I find, from time to time.

So, for our first installment of Cool Bike Blog of the Week, I thought I would share with you DowntownFromBehind, a fun photographic series on Tumblr that captures people riding their bikes, from behind, all over the streets of NYC. The photos are well done (at least they are planned out and somewhat staged… and you can even but prints) and the editorial copy tells the story of the location of the shot, the people in the photo, and in more recent posts there are relevant links to the people and places in the photos. I found myself rummaging through many of the archives to get a sense of how these shots were produced and to learn more about the photographer and the subjects. I won’t spoil anymore for you… go check it out!

If you know any cool bike sites you feel are worthy of sharing with your fellow bicycle buds, please email us a link and tell us why you dig the site.

Happy biking and surfing!
