'WEB DIRECTORY' pages on Bicycling < Go to Table of Contents, above. > < Go to Top of Page, above. > It seems that 'web directories' are dying out. Google and Yahoo closed theirs down around 2014. Then around 2017, the directory from which the Google and Yahoo web-directories were spawned --- the DMOZ "Open Directory Project" closed down. It seems that it is just not feasible for a team of people to keep up with all the sites that are going dead and the new sites that appear. About a year after the dmoz.org site closed down, it appears that a new web-directory site --- curlie.org --- arose from the ashes of 'dmoz.org'. It remains to be seen how long that web-directory lasts. Following are a few links related to 'web directory' sites. Wikipedia List of Web Directories - at en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ List_of_web_directories the 'Curlie' web-directory project on CYCLING - at curlie.org/ Sports/ Cycling/ (see the links at the bottom of that page --- or click on categories such as "Bike Shops" or "Chats and Forums" or "Clubs and Teams" or "College and University" or "Directories" or "FAQS, Help, and Tutorials" or "News and Media" or "Organizations" or "Personal Pages" or "Regional" or "Shopping" or "Travel" --- or "Mountain Biking" or "Racing" --- or the Google GROUPS at the bottom of the page) Rather than depending on any remaining 'web-directory' links, here are some WEB SEARCHES to get you started with 'bicycling' inquiries --- using keywords 'bicycle sale', and keywords 'bicycle ride', and keywords 'bicycle tour'. Another approach to take: Go to the Wikipedia 'Bicycle_touring' page and start following links from that page. Go to Table of Contents, above.
