How to start a Blog about mountain bikes


Blogs are the source of much wisdom, and much more content, so where better to find out how to start a blog than by looking at some blogs about how to start a blog. Here's what I've learnt so far:

  • Get it wrong and you're doomed to fail
  • The brutal truth is that if you fail to capture your first visitors’ interest at a deep level with your first article, you will lose them forever
  • Direct readers to your next blog post (no really)
  • Start by introducing yourself

OK, I can do at least two of those. Hi! My name is Andrew (or Mr B for short) and I like to ride bicycles. Earlier this year I rediscovered mountain biking after a 20 year BMX-based hiatus, and have been having so much socially isolated fun since then that I wanted to share it with you. I'm also planning to write down some of the things I have learnt and am learning along the way.

If that sounds interesting, why not keep a look out for my next blog post! I haven't written it yet but it might be about what I learnt from a first pretty cold ride of the year, or what happens when you try to bleed your brakes without the right tools, or maybe why you should all buy a BMX immediately if you want to improve your mountain biking. But that's for next time.
