Links
The links on this page are deliberately
biassed towards cycling in Scotland, so you won't find links to every obscure
Californian manufacturer of titanium MTB widgets. All Scottish clubs, retailers,
manufacturers and cycling organisations are invited to send
us details of their site to help us build a uniquely Scottish collection of
cycling resources.

Formerly Bill's Cycle Racing Results & News Service, and without
doubt the best results site on the Web! Always up to date, often with
interim reports filed part-way through races! If you're interested in the
international pro scene, this is a must-see!
- Eurosport
An excellent site with lots of up-to-date results and news from the European
pro scene; info on pro teams and riders; and a complete European pro
calendar. Well worth a look. No sign of Dave Duffield, though!
- Master cycling photograper Graham
Watson has a selection of superb photos on show, all taken at major
international races. Wonder how I can get a job like that...
- Tout le Cyclisme
Féminin is a website dedicated to women's racing. Nicolas Leroy has
addressed a neglected area of the sport with race results, news, photos,
world rankings, and links to other sites featuring women's cycling. In

- Chris
Boardman This is an unofficial appreciation site with lots of stuff
about Chris and plenty of pictures of the man in action.
- itsmillartime.com - The web
site of Robert Millar, Tour stage winner and currently the most successful
British pro in the international peloton. Nice one. Can't quite see what
it's got to do with beer though, Robert...
- Sean Kelly - A
potted history of the great man's career, a useful race results service, and
Sean Kelly bikes too.
- Marco Pantani This
site used to be Mercatone Uno's, but Pants has now taken it over for
himself.

As I said at the top of the page, if you're looking for an
exhaustive and up-to-date list of links to every maker of carbon-fibre
anti-chainsuck plates, you're out of luck. In fact our list of manufacturers is
quite short; all the entries here are British outfits and/or I just like their
site or their gear. Oh, and there's also Shimano.
- Campagnolo
- Gorgeous Italian road equipment.
- Cannondale -
Oooh what big tubes you've got!
- Cinelli - Smooth
Italian stuff for roadies
- Colnago - History
of the Colnago company & pictures of those lovely frames.
- Dawes Cycles
- Giant -
Famous for providing the ONCE team's apparently controversial sloping
top-tubes, as well as many juicy mountain bikes. Allegedly the biggest
bicycle manufacturer in the world.
- Marin UK have
launched their site before the big boys at Marin US. Nice bouncy XC bikes.
- Mavic
- Oakley - Purveyors
of very fine yet obscenely expensive eyewear. This is one of the web's great
"must-visit" sites, simply because of the unbelievable amount of
hype and meaningless marketing nonsense it contains. So much bullshit that
it should really carry a mental health warning. Read the product
descriptions and have a good laugh.
- Orbit Cycles
- Custom-built bikes from Sheffield.
- Ross
Weir at Bridge of Don in Aberdeen produces aluminium cycle trailers.
- Shelford
Design - U.K. manufacturers of "Rollerturbo" home trainer,
"Stealth" aero bars, workstands and moulded tri-bar arm-rests.
- Shimano
- Full product range & service manuals.
- Tandette
is a new device which enables two bicycles to be connected together making a
three wheeled tandem. Made in the UK!
- Voodoo Cycles
- Nice, yet strangely spooky!
- X-Lite - Yummy
British-made goodies for your MTB

- Mad for
Mountainbiking. Brilliant mountainbiking site with MTB news, places to
ride, racing news, classifieds, a virtual workshop, an online shop and much
more. Worth a visit.

- Dales Cycles
in Glasgow - an interesting site from the largest bike store in the west of
Scotland.

Bicycle

about the shop and the new bikes from Raleigh Special Products.

- Cyclists' Touring Club
- Britain's largest cycling organisation. Not just touring and plus-fours!
- International Bicycle
Fund - an NGO promoting "sustainable transport and international
understanding". Plenty of unusual bike-related links here.
- SPOKES
- The Lothian Cycle Campaign
- Sustrans -
"Sustainable Transport". Not in fact a cycling organisation, they
promote sane methods of transport through practical engineering projects,
most notably their conversion of disused railways into pedestrian/cycle
tracks. I'm waiting for them to get around to doing a similar job on the
motorway network.

- Chasing
Rickshaws - Something a bit different, this is a coffee-table book
featured on the superb Lonely
Planet site. Fascinating photographs of rickshaws around the world.
Sadly the book's section of the site has just been trimmed quite
drastically, but it's well worth a look before wandering off into the
inspiring and apparently limitless Lonely Planet site.
- Exploratorium's
"Science of Cycling"
Top
- Bicycling Books. An online
bookshop with loads of difficult-to-find cycling books and videos.

cyclists' "online club". Plenty of interest here, and a good links
section with ratings supplied by web surfers.

rides, including the famous Raid Pyreneen. Now has details of the 2001 TdF
stages in the Pyrenees. Can be read in either English or French.

- A site specially for Campag enthusiasts (or "Campy", as our
misguided American friends call it). Fans of Shimano may find this site a
little distressing!
- Cyber Cyclery -
"The Internet Bicycling Club". See also Team Internet below.
- Cycle America.
Tour company offering supported cycle-camping treks throughout the more
scenic areas of the US. They also organise a coast to coast ride across
America.

An interesting concept - a cycling club based on the Internet. Based in the
USA, they have their own club kit and race in US Federation events. I'm not
really sure why, though.

Europe and the Mediterranean.

cycling in Britain.
