Men (in tights)
Well, it’s Tour de France time again and readers who usually stop by for music will know that the frequency of cycling posts for the next 2 1/2 weeks will probably outnumber posts about music. In addition to checking the usual daily cycling sources, cycling fans might want to take a trip over to a relatively new cycling blog called Men (in tights). As you might expect from their name, there is a good deal of tongue-in-cheek fun, and a great deal of editorializing. They got their first real boost after getting plugged on PEZ. Although their writing had a bit more depth when it was more intermitent, their TdF coverage has been a little scrappy (much like the sprints these last two days)—daily posting is hard work sometimes. However, I’m confident they’ll grow into their roles as daily peloton pundits.
