Top Cycling Accounts to Follow on Instagram

Not even 10 years ago, the only time you’d really see what a pro cyclist was up to is by reading about them in publications like Velonews or sites like Cyclingnews.com or catching the rare cycling event or interview on television.

But now, with social media services like Instagram, you can follow your favorite cyclists and see what they’re up to from day to day. It’s inspiring, compelling, and a little bit addicting.

Here are some of our favorite Instagram accounts related to cycling that we think are worth a follow.

She’s won the Leadville 100 multiple times, and set many other ultraendurance records on a bike. Inspiring to watch what she’s up to.

“He was hungry in the way champions often are — the seething drive of Jim Brown, the bland glare of Gordie Howe, the cut-your-heart-out look of Mia Hamm. Merckx was always in motion somewhere.” George Vecsey
