We just released some updates to improve photo uploads! Now, once you choose a photo, it starts uploading immediately, showing a progress bar as it uploads.

This not only helps figure out how long it'll take for the upload to finish, but we also re-configured the server so that photo uploads don't slow down the server. We hope you guys enjoy it.

And we combined the add photos page and manage photos page into one, so managing all aspects of your photos is even easier!

P.S. We also fixed several bugs with various parts of the site. And we're working to allow for even higher-resolution photos to be saved and viewable by all.

Last year, we built Fourteen Teeth. Today, we moved it over to the Pedal Room server and integrated it with the site.

This allows us to do things like include the latest fixed gear and track bikes from the site on the Fourteen Teeth. We also completely rewrote most of the code to make Fourteen Teeth even faster!

Check it out at it's new url: http://fourteenteeth.pedalroom.com. Don't worry, the old url (fourteenteeth.com) still works and is changing to pointing to the new site on the Pedal Room server.

Oh yeah, we also cleaned it up a bit and changed up a couple of the blogs. Let us know what you think!

Happy fourth of July everyone! If you're in the US, ride safe and have a good Independence Day!

Today we released our second round of search improvements. Now, when you do a bike search, we not only search the bike title, specs, and description, but we also search any tags associated with that bike. This should mean that you get more accurate search results.

We also added search boxes (and sometimes clickable search suggestions too - hooray!) to search results pages, so you can easily perform another quick search. We're thinking about expanding search options near the search box on search results pages, but we weren't sure. We'd love to hear what you guys and gals think and what you'd like to see!

Hope everyone has a good weekend! Ride safe!

Today we released a new option that helps immensely in finding the right bikes on Pedal Room - The ability to match all keywords when searching.

This means if you search for "cannondale track" and choose the match all keywords option, only bikes which have both "cannondale" and "track" will be found. Very useful for searching for specific bikes! Stay tuned - more search improvements are coming soon!

Our new Pedal Room stickers are in! Let us know if you want some and we'll send some your way!

We finally finished up our new photo UI and released it a few minutes ago. Gone are the photo comments* and now the photos are loaded inline in the same page, which is faster and allows you to see the bike's details, comments, other photos, and of course, the current photo all in the same page! Let us know what you think!

* Photo comments aren't actually removed. They have been moved to the bike details page. Feel free to go through your bikes and remove any comments that don't make any sense in the context of the bike details page (which shouldn't be too many.)

We're currently working on some small changes that will help Pedal Room show up in search engines better, which will in turn help the site grow faster.

One of these changes is getting photos to show up more prominently in image searches, so we're redesigning the way images on Pedal Room work from the ground up. We're considering removing image comments to make things more simple and faster. What do you guys and gals think of that? We'd love to hear any feedback, so just let us know what you think!

Other changes coming soon include improved searching and bike browsing, both of which will be coming very soon!

P.S. Don't miss today's interview with Kyle about his custom pursuit track bike!

I've been creating these in my late night spare time, and figured I'd share. Let me know what you think!

P.S. We're releasing some minor updates to Pedal Room today. Check back later tonight!

We've started interviewing some of our featured bike owners! We hope that you guys enjoy these interviews as much as we've enjoyed talking with cyclists!

Currently, we've got an interview with Fabian about his gorgeous Colnago Pista, and a couple days ago we interviewed Matthew Divita from iMiNUSD about his Green Cannondale Track.

We're always looking out for nice bikes and interesting content, so stay tuned for more and enjoy!
