Ever thought of becoming a bike blogger? Well, we need your help. The pay is minimal, but the work is rewarding.

We really believe that having a world class bicycle blog network is crucial to speed along bicycle infrastructure. Bikers need to organize, and this is one way of doing that. Each city or town that wants a bike blog should have one - and it should include built-in Forum software so we can promote folks working together outside the context of the blog. The blog will provide a vital news and information service, but it will only be a part of the overall solution. Our model for success will be in providing the type of bicycle news coverage provided at blogs like BikePortland.org and StreetsBlog.org.

We want to cover all the general bike news that relates to a town, and then expand that to include other aspects of the Livable Streets movement, as time permits.

More details:

1. Each story will be proofread, at least, and possibly edited for typos, fact checks, double-checking that any images are properly cited, etc.
2. Blogging expertise is not specifically required, though it might make getting an assesment of your writing skills a bit difficult. If you have integrity and bike passion, though, we’ll work with you. BikeBlogs.org will take care of all the technology stuff so you can concentrate on writing and getting more people on bikes.
