Big Milestone!

We just hit one-thousand members! Thanks everyone who's been a part so far, and everyone who will play a part in the booming future of Pedal Room!

It took us a bit longer than we hoped to get to one-thousand, but the next thousand (and many more) should come much more quickly. The community in general and Pedal Room are always growing, and we're behind the scenes always planning for growth and improving the site to make Pedal Room the best place for bikes!

Spread the word and let's make Pedal Room even bigger and better! Thanks again everyone!

Advanced Bike Search Released!

Today we launched something that we've been meaning to build for a while - better bike search. After all, bikes is what we're all about. Now Pedal Room has better bike searching options.

You can search by keywords like you've been able to before, but also by location, and you can choose to sort bikes in various order and show only bikes with photos as well!

One thing we had a lot of fun building that we hope you guys will enjoy is our location search. Say you see some cool bike in Ballard (a neighborhood here in Seattle) and want to find it. You can search for location "Ballard" on the advanced bike search page, choose to sort by distance, and then results will come back not only in Ballard, but also in the neighboring areas. Of course, if you sorted by distance, the bikes closest to your entered location will show up first. See the image below for a rough idea of what we're talking about.

Enjoy the features, and let us know what you think!

Upgraded Tag Clouds and Member Search

Post

We just finished upgrading our tag clouds to make it easier to see what the most popular and least popular tags are. There used to be a ton of tiny tags and one or two large ones, but now tags are better distributed thanks to our new logarithmic algorithm. We hope you guys enjoy it!

Also, we upgraded our member search with an option to search for only members with bikes. We'll be adding a similar option to find only members with photos and sorting options soon, as well as sorting options for bikes and an advanced bike search! Check back often for more features and more great bikes added from all over!

New Bike/Member Browsing Features

We just released some new features that we hope you guys will enjoy! You can now browse bikes by tag, search for members by location as well as name, order member search results, and find everything a bit easier (we hope) with the new navigation menus.

Pretty soon we'll be building an advanced bike search as well as enhanced member searching options, and much more! Let us know what you think, and stay tuned for more updates!
