Spokepost has been out of operation for quite some time now.
I moved a bit south to the mid-Atlantic several years ago, probably about the time
(if you were indeed a loyal Spokepost reader…) you may have noticed a change in
how the website was run. Updates became less frequent, things slowly degraded and
became harder and harder to manage. Eventually, I pulled the site down and had a couple
short builds of various flavors that seemed to never fully materialize. Part of the
reason seemed that perhaps I was over-complicating things for myself by thinking that
I had to have a complex website that had all kinds of custom functionality that I
would always try to build myself. Bad idea - as it distracted me from the ultimate
goal of Spokepost.com – which was to support grassroots bicycling of all types.</p>
