I just noticed that Bikejuju is one year old. One year ago I thought I’d give blogging a try, and after waffling about it for a while, on March 13 I posted a simple post about Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel “readymade.”
Now here’s the funny thing – a year later, and against all odds, that first post is still a page that people find on Bikejuju and come to every single day! Apparently it turns up pretty high in the Google search results for “bicycle wheel Marcel Duchamp.“ Yes, out of more than a hundred posts in the last year, that and the posts about naked cyclists are still two of the the most frequently accessed pages in the whole database.
Not the monkeys or the tall bikes in Indonesia or the fixie in Lagos or the freak bikes or the bicycles of Ethiopia or all the other posts of amazing bike art. No, it’s Duchamp and naked cyclists that people seem to want. Weird, huh?
Anyway, it seems Bikejuju is here to stay, so at long last I’ve set up a Facebook Bikejuju page, and in order to entice you to become a “fan,” I’m giving away a prize: a Planet Bike Blaze one watt headlight left over from the Dark Days winter solstice photo contest.
If you become a fan of the Bikejuju page on Facebook before April 1, you’ll be entered to win it (if you have a US mailing address).
It’s that simple.
Thanks for reading. Stick around for year number two. It’s going to be fun.
