Sheldon's images have some really cool shots, and I'm sure I'll download at least a few. ... And already have a few from a file of his from an old Larz Andersen show he went to a few years ago. But I've been creating bike porn screensavers for years with the "Webshots" screensaver download. I'm not here to advertise, but it works well, and once you've downloaded the software, you can eliminate their photos and add your's from your computer's files. I've been saving photos from Wool Jersey, fixed gear gallery, the CR site and my own bicycles as well as my photos of vintage rides, Cirque' di Cyclisme, and vacations. Each gallery gets a name, you can turn them on and off as you wish, the photos cycle at the rate you choose, and I think their hosting site is ok, offering full size images to anyone that visits your site. I much prefer it to Yahoo, and Flicker, no logging in required. And to keep it on topic, here's a link to my on topic bikes (all of which have their own screensaver file on my home computer: http://community.webshots.com/user/danartley If you want their screensaver software, go to their home page, scroll down to the bottom right for "download the free webshots desktop".

I really didn't mean for this to promote a commercial site, but it's great having your own bike porn.

It occurred to me that some other folks might like to use the bicycle images from my screensaver, so I've prepared a collection of 127 images, all 1024 x 768 pixels, horizontal orientation that you're welcome to download to use as a screensaver or desktop wallpaper.

The images are all located in the file http://sheldonbrown.com/bike-screensaver1024x768/images...
