Twitter
YOU FOLLOW: @vaughters, Garmin-Cervélo manager Jonathan Vaughters, for unfiltered pro-cycling news; @lancearmstrong and his alter-ego, @juanpelota, if you still believe, and former Versus correspondent and noted Armstrong picador Neil Browne (@neilroad) if you don’t.
Facebook
YOU LIKE: The off-color rants featured on Drunkcyclist.com; the Science of Sport for its news and analysis of doping scandals (as well as regular nutrition and training); Wilderness B = Wilderness with Bikes, fellow activists who demand that mountain bikes be allowed in federally protected wilderness areas. Occupy!
Apps
YOU USE: Wahoo Fitness, which turns your iPhone into an ANT+ bike computer; social training app Strava Cycling to share stats and compete for points and prizes with anyone who’s done the same rides in your area; and the ultra-techy Bicycle Gear Calculator ($5) to fine-tune chainring pairings with crank length and tire width.
Web
YOU BROWSE: Elden Nelson’s Fat Cyclist blog, which roasts sacred cows (“You do not want to ride with [Outside contributor] Bike Snob NYC ... you will most assuredly be t-boned, run-over, mugged, and have your bike stolen”). For video, you turn to the motivational segments on Thesufferfest.com (motto: “I will beat my ass today to kick yours tomorrow”) and to Cyclingfans.com for live feeds of all major pro races.
YOU SCHMOOZE: By swapping bare-knuckled bike reviews on the MTBR.com reader forums and kvetching on the Pinkbike.com message boards.

You forgot listening to Velocast Race Radio, for the best cycling commentary & musical stylings!
