Most of the blog content in Northwest in Motion originated as Velocity: The Seattle Area Cycling Blog, which launched in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (aka "the P-I") in 2007. At that time the P-I had both print and digital versions, and was trying to refine its digital strategy. They developed (originated?) the concept of "microlocal" blogging--neighborhood scale blogs and reports. Based on a personal blog David Longdon produced while he lived in Eugene, OR, he was added to the "Reader Blogger" section of the P-I. "Velocity" focused on the Seattle-area recreational cycling scene, and included rider profiles, route and trip reports, and occasional gear reviews.
Additional content came from a blog that was produced during the development of a fitness planning service we developed called motion.social.
Like Velocity, Northwest in Motion has great content for and about cyclists, but is broader in scope:
--a comprehensive regional calendar of running and cycling events from British Columbia to Northern California. This handy calendar has all of the events in which you might be interested in one handy location.
--coverage of the region's running scene, similar to the previous stories in Velocity
--overage of regional fitness destinations, trips, and routes that you might want to add to your hit list
--curated directories of favorite cycling, running, and mountain/hiking gear shops
--curated directories of favorite coffee shops and craft breweries
