    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 signed up for twitter just to follow various cyclists and related folks. I love it when Brad Wiggins drunk-tweets. And I really enjoy Taylor Phinney's tweets - he's kind of a nutty kid.

    Btw Lance posted photos of the most adorable baby shoes today.

    I saw him post those shoes. I thought they were pretty cute, too! I was wondering if he had them specially made..

    Wiggins has cracked me up. He'll comment about being hung over and then saying how he better get back on his bike. One said something like "time to be a cyclist again". Nice to know even the pros find it hard to get back on. He's really cracked me up.

    Ok, these are somewhat business/semi-professional related twitter pages that I tweet to/as twitter account co-owner:

    http://twitter.com/Velocity2012
    ( or @velocity2012 )

    http://twitter.com/3rdwavecycling

    Yea, I know there are overlap tweets. There are different audiences/readers per twitter page whatever. I haven't taken time to do much dialogue nor follow others-- yet. (Yea, I do alot of blogging.) Yea, I must be a non-twitter hermit. Any suggestions how I can do this without cluttering up with too much extraneous stuff on twitter page?

    Searching on twitter? Anyone got tips? I've given up because 140 character messages tend to be cryptic by necessity. Therefore any retrospective searching is highly restrictive. I get the impression Twitter.com doesn't keep much backdated tweets.

    However if Google buys Twitter, maybe something different will evolve. Find that kind of hard to believe if there is still 140 character limit for comprehensive content value.

    We have this today from Brad Wiggins:

    Done it, Monday morning and managed to crack the weekend without drinking a drop of alcohol. I am a bike rider again! Sweet.

    (I love this guy.)

    This is from Chris Horner (@hornerakg):

    Was looking at the start list at Tour de L'Ain. There is a kid here born in 1990. I did my first race in1985

    All you master racers. Burn a candle for me, maybe two just in case.

    Smile HUGE twitter tweeter

    I'm slightly nervous to post my full name here but since it's how I tweet, here goes. I follow mostly fellow women racers, tho. I race with/for/sponsored by the US Women's Cycling Development Program team (USWCDP) so can follow me (almost all my tweets are cycling related~my facebook is more personal/family random acts of weirdness stuff) with USWCDP (and the rest of the team~well, those that will tweet) & by my name, KimberlyGress.

    I post under both but under my name more often than not.

    Go female cyclists!!
