In the past, Marcus used to do a very good job of providing a weekly round up of bike news from around the web. Since he has stepped back from writing regularly for us, we’ve started using Twitter to share these stories. It’s a little more timely and efficient than a weekly review. Having said that, I realize not everyone is on Twitter, or if you are, you don’t necessarily check it all the time.

So to replace the bicycle news roundup, we are going to start posting a review of our tweets for the week so you can catch up on any news you might have missed. If you want more up to the minute info, you can follow us on Twitter by adding us to your following list here or by adding “austinon2wheels.”
