Okay boys and grrls I have a little treat for you. As you know FG is still evolving behind the scenes. For example I have just enable image upload for all of you. You should be able to upload and insert images on the fly - I will make a video tutorial soon enough.
But that is not the treat, the real treat is cool image slide shows. When you make an image (i.e create content > image) you can choose a gallery to put it in. A fancy flash slideshow is made on the fly. For example here is the Bike Porn Gallery:
http://fearlessgearless.com/fgallery/50
http://fearlessgearless.com/bikeporn/gallery
The URL will change in a bit as this is all development but let me know what you think.
[Update: In keeping with my earlier promise I have revamped and improved the FG bike porn feature. Read more about it here]

That's one of the better flash slideshow applications I've seen. Nice scrolling action with the mousewheel and quick image loading. Thanks Wendell!
That viewer is really nice. I'm afraid I'm going to have to steal it from you for use with my bike porn! :) Nice pics too btw ;)
It is done with a Drupal module called "flash gallery", which uses the open source from AirTight Interactive
The current release version does not work correctly, and you have to edit two lines to get it to work:
I can give you my hacked version to run, if you have a drupal install. If not then you have
nice gallery
Hey that's really cool pics. I just wanted all of those to be downloaded on my PC.
Yeah I like it. Let me add a download link for the photos!
Is there an age restriction for bike porn? Do we need to provide manufaturers certificates to prove hold old the bikes are?
What would be even better is if you combined your bike porn feature with some risque imagery, like the car companies do at auto shows. This it would be truly considered bike porn, and possibly even passed around other online communities acting as marketing materials for this site and the biking hobby both! heh
While I have been accused of being an elitist when it comes to fixed gear bikes, I also aim to be inclusive to as many people as possible, this includes gender and sexual preference. What you suggest is so typical hetero its boring. While I appreciate your sentiment to popularize the site, there are lots of sites featuring real porn, feel free to surf to them.
BTW, the term "Bike porn" is just a funny node to our obsession with bikes, so much so that they can often beat out sex.
There is something so refreshing and rewarding about a great plugin or module that works nicely without a lot of blood, sweat and tears put into it (save that for a ride).
Great pics!!!!
Those are some nice bicycles. I wish I was a little girl again....ridding my bike around....I have a bike now as well but it is not the same.
Great collection of bike photographs!
Very nice collection of bicycle photographs.
