Would love to see some cool pictures of what you saw as you toured. Bikes in the pics a plus!

BTW, Stephan, I have checked out your blog, and if you had put your journals on crazyguy, I might have said that you were my favorite. :thumb: |
Edit: I think it's best if I keep my comments to myself and let everyone else do whatever they want with their own site. Sorry for causing trouble. |

Also, am I the only one? Crazy Guy on a Bike was the first website (and that's cool!), but their interface is so antiquated, I don't even bother with it. It's just not user-friendly anymore. Not saying it has to be updated- I just won't use it.

My page: PackJournal.com/Coyote In any case, picture time. http://packjournal.com/photos/7ff783...60e5952720.jpg http://packjournal.com/photos/828d87...82ade11720.jpg http://packjournal.com/photos/07899b...f125798720.jpg Guess what road I was going up next? |

I'm definitely biased, but I would say that a personal website is superior to Crazy Guy on a Bike in every way.
I would also suggest that this thread (or a thread dedicated to touring photos) be made a sticky like the loaded bicycle photo thread. |

The advantage of Crazyguy is that it has a singular focus on bike touring. One doesn't have to search the blogosphere to find touring journals. I agree that the format is outdated, but it serves a purpose and is easy to use. As long as the control of CGOAB remains in the hands of one cash strapped developer, the format is not going to change any time soon, so those of us who are content to use it for what it offers will continue to post journals and photos there.

Agreed, CGOAB isn't very flashy but it has a lot of great stuff on there. There is no real competition to that site when it comes to volume of work, I enjoy it.

I'm again gonna point to PackJournal.com as the update that CrazyGuyOnABike.com has needed for at least a decade. It's new, so doesn't have as much content on it...yet...but a much better format, great new features added specifically with touring cyclists in mind, and it's just as easy to use (if not more, due to the offline-friendly app).

Not trying to say it's terrible. It serves a purpose. For me, Quality over Quantity. I would rather read a few nice, well-laid-out blogs and web magazines like Bunyan Velo, The Radavist, Bikepackers Magazine, etc. than try and sift through thousands of poorly organized and user-infriendly stories that may or may not be relevant to my own trip (since many of them were done in different decades). Roads/routes/services change monthly.

Are you (coyote) the only one with journals on the site?

There are a lot of great pics on here, I want to comment on all of them but my post would end up long winded. I love to see where others have been, it's as if the traveling comes to ME! Thanks everyone, any more? :)
