Bike porn

There must be hundreds of bike photos stored on my hard drive. I have my iMac set to scroll through them as a screen saver. There are all kinds of bikes in all kinds of styles. Some are abstract. Some are bizarre. Some just make me wish I were riding right now.

Most of these come from Flickr. The search function is cool, but for the hardcore bike porn addict like myself, the RSS feeds from the photo pools are where it's at.

There are tons of these pools. Bike Nation. Steel Bike Gallery. Stolen Bikes. Fixed Gear / Singlespeed. Even Bicycles Underwater. One of the coolest is Panda Portraits, people who snap photos while riding. My new favorite is the recently added Concept Bicycles, which is where the hand-drawn road bike sketch below came from.

Simply add the URL to your favorite RSS reader and every time someone submits a photo to that gallery it will shoot its way off to your computer for your... enjoyment. Be warned, some of these pools receive dozens of submissions a day.
