Heavy Metal Cyclist is a blog about (what else?) bicycles and heavy metal music. Other topics may creep in on occasion, but since these are the two biggest obsessions of mine, it should be relatively easy to stay on topic. Stay tuned for more updates and more pages to showcase my bikes, my rides, my favorite bands, and other totally awesome stuff.
Dear Heavy Metal Cyclist,
I’m emailing you out of fear. I started a blog last year with exactly the same name as yours and with almost exactly the same intention. Said blog fell apart soon due to laziness on my behalf, but the name Heavy Metal Cyclist is to this day my name on various bike and metal related forums etc. I had always wondered whether anyone else had tried to join the two passions, and i’m glad to see that your attempt has been far more frutiful than my own. Seeing as you are in Seattle, and i am in Melbourne, Australia, i figure we probably won’t get in each other’s way. Best of luck with your writing!
Hey! I probably should have looked to see if there was another blog called “Heavy Metal Cyclist.” I only looked at domain names. At any rate, we appear to be safe: yours is on Blogspot, mine is hosted on WordPress. If you ever choose to shell out for a domain, at the time being, .com and .net are both available. And you’re right, we have quite the distance between us. =)
Melbourne seems like a great city. I hope to visit some day. If you’re ever in Seattle, drop me a line and we can ride some bikes and drink some beer. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you keep reading!
