Bicyclist.xyz – OpenSRS / eNom customer (United States)
After cat videos and online shopping, one of the biggest pleasures we get from the internet is being able to find and connect with a community of other people who share our interests and passions. Diving into your favorite hobby with others makes it even more fun to do what you love, and this week’s #WebsiteWednesday is a perfect example of people gathering online to partake in their favorite activity together: Bicyclist.xyz.
As their domain name implies, Bicyclist.xyz is a place where cycling enthusiasts can come to get their complete fix of all things cycling. Bicyclist.xyz is an online magazine first and foremost, featuring everything from an online version of the magazine to helpful blog series like “Ask the Coach” and “In Practice.” Plus, they’ve created helpful profiles with different destinations, routes, and ride reports. If you really can’t get enough cycling news, you can also listen to their podcast (which reaches riders in over 72 countries) or sign up for their newsletter for the best bike news and stories delivered right to your inbox.
Beyond the magazine, Bicyclist.xyz is also a community that connects riders via a helpful shop locator and the largest online calendar of cycling events, races and festivals in the United States. They have nearly 10,000 followers combined across their excellently branded Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram pages, and use their social media to share a mix of cycling news as well as content submitted by the bicycle fanatics who regularly read their content.
“The inspiration for creating Bicyclist.xyz was to provide a digital version of our print magazine and cycling event calendar, both available free to the public at more than 500 better bike shops throughout the west coast since 1994. The site itself offers a platform that guides and inspires people to make the most of their time in the saddle.
Our goals for Bicyclist.xyz include reaching more people worldwide and developing improved user functionality for the BICYCLIST Event Calendar, a comprehensive directory of opportunities to join others in organized bike events, races, and festivals throughout the western United States.
We went with the .xyz domain because it provides the best fit to convey and acknowledge the wide variety of pursuits people have when it comes to pedaling across road and trail. The variables of cycling, the x’s, y’s and z’s of road bikes, mountain bikes, electric bikes, route selection, experiential reviews, lifestyle and culture are considered under the broad Bicyclist.xyz banner.”
– Chris Reynolds, Managing Director of Bicyclist.xyz
