Cycleblaze certainly hasn't equaled the drop-off at Crazyguy.
What's your take?
If I visit a touring / bike packing site I want to see something attractive, places, people, nature, beautiful roads, rural roads, I like to get inspired by what I see, I want to see stuff that motivates me to ride my bike. I have no time to read for hours about a tour from Barcelona to Lisbon, filled with concrete city scapes, cars and 10m wide roads. I am not interested in what tires, battery packs, or tents people use, same for gearing, or what bike lock to buy. my eyes want food, see beautiful places. put the ""bike-touring"" or ""bike-packing"" tag into instagram, you will see that traveling with bikes is hip.
