Twitter?

Does anyone here use Twitter.com? I just started (I'm wordplay1) and it's kind of fun and addictive. Would be nice to have more bikers on the site and an interesting way to track and encourage people to keep riding.

BUMP!

I also use twitter :)

Today I'm discovering just how many tweeting pro racers there are. It's so awesome to get the feed from the Tour... especially when they give so many little details about life during the race!

Of the 20 something folks I follow, all but maybe 3 are pro cyclists or cycling related. :) My friends have decided this is more proof of my lameness. :)

Lance posted a list of all the tour riders who are on twitter. Andy Schleck was my latest to start following.

of the pro racers that you follow, which are the ones that are giving the best tidbits?

Lance and Levi are great since they post videos too, which are fun. I enjoy Hincape. Zabriske is funny, not really "informative" if you will, but funny. VandeVelde had been rather talkative of late. Andy hasn't said much, but I'll keep following. Robbie Hunter isn't in the Tour this year but I follow him and he's always pretty opinionated and fun. I also follow the official Tour site which links to articles, and a writer for eurosport yahoo called blazing saddles (saddleblaze on twitter) who says a lot of things mainstream journalist never would. Some I may agree with, others I don't, but still interesting to read.

I'll post again after watching my twitter feed a little more and recommend any others. I follow Bobke, Phil and Paul, though they seem to leave most of their information for the broadcast. :)

thank you!!
I can only view twitter from home.. but when i get home i will check some of these guys out!

hehe I'm amused that Levi uses txt talk. :D

"I'm honestly lost 4 words! That was an incredible lifetime experience, I have 2 say it was mixture of excitement, aggression, fear & elation"

Thanks, Reesha. I've got Lance, George and Levi set up on my iphone:D Only three more weeks to go!

Here's Andy - see, he's so cute :)

andy_schleck Chapeau to Astana that was a stunning performance

yep, twitter user here too :)

Thanks for the great cycling twitter feeds! I am on twitter as @colbinator but it's usually a mess of random work and not work things (along with strange vanity license plates I see on the road) ;)

i might be @mimitb but i don't post much on twitter

Here's a more comprehensive list of Twittering pros!

Not a cycling related twitter user, but a very cool one: John Quincy Adams The Mass. Historical Society is tweeting his one line diary entries from 1809.

I guess this goes to show that you're never to old for new technology. ;)

I'm @spazzdog but have never posted... that may change in the future as I get back into the saddle (and update my crackberry software)
