Tim Jackson's excellent blog at Masiguy received a well-deserved mention in a New York Times article on Wednesday about bloggers who write — sometimes critically — about their business.
Jackson is brand manager for Masi Bicycles. He not only writes about his company's products, but other issues in cycling, such as doping.
It made me wonder, what are Jackson and his brethren blogging about from the Interbike International Bike Expo in Las Vegas this week?

One thing I discovered when I set off on my bicycle tour of the Olympic Peninsula was that I needed to learn more about lightweight bicycle touring.
On that bike tour last month I carried a couple of books, food in cans, a two-person tent (on a solo ride?), extra fuel bottles, yada yada. There were clothes I did not even wear. Just look at that mess of stuff spread out across the picnic table on the first night. I had added 55 pounds to my bicycle touring experience before throwing in a couple of last-minute odds and ends.
The Adventure Cycling Association has come to the rescue of bike touring hogs like me. …

It's obvious that the press has swooped into Bootleg Canyon like so many vultures to ride the bikes and test accessories set out in the desert by 130 exhibitors at the two-day Outdoor Demo for Interbike.
Among the bloggers with passes to the show, the most prolific by far has been Graham at Go Clipless. The guy did write-ups on at least 7 mountain bikes the first day, many of them 29ers. Among them the Intense Spider 29,Turner Sultan, Niner R.I.P. 9, and Cannondale Caffeine 29er and Rush Carbon, Diamondback Mission 3, and Monocog Flight 29 …
