1K

We started EcoVelo back on May 16, 2008 and today we passed a major milestone; you’re looking at post #1,000.

People occasionally ask what motivates us to keep moving forward, finding new material, doing everything we can to keep it fresh. A recent note from one of our regulars sums it up:

“By the way, I hold Alan personally responsible, and am thankful, for our car-light decision.”

We’re super-excited about how far we’ve come, but we’re even more excited about where we’re headed. Many thanks to all of our loyal readers (and newbies too!) for coming along for the ride; let’s keep it rolling!

    A job well done, Alan and Michael! Ecovelo is a valuable resource for all of us who rely on our bicycles as transport. And for anyone who enjoys elegant, tasteful, artful places to spend their time, they’ve come to the right place.

    Thanks once again Alan. I still check in but not as often as when you had the ‘Recumbent Blog’. I still enjoy your photography Have fun and stop in when you ever are in town.
    peace

    I didn’t realize your page was so new. I guess that means I’ve been following you since the beginning. You have no doubt contributed to my family stepping up our car-light lifestyle as well. It’s so refreshing to have such a positive, beautiful page to read that changes daily, often many times per day.

  • Jeff says:

    I found this blog about three months ago and love it! Thank you so much for your hard work!

    Alan,

    Congrats. You caused me to look at my stats. With 240 posts, I’ve got a long way to go to catch up.

    ecovelo is the site that I most want to emulate. There are none other that I read consistently that are as well-written, well-designed and well-photographed.

    I hate to look at my RSS feed to see that you’ve posted a second or third entry for the day when I struggle to do three entries a WEEK.

    You’re a real asset to the cycling community.

  • john says:

  • Iain says:
