I've launched a new site that you guys may enjoy:
velospace.org
What is velo space? A place too look at bikes, upload bikes and get free photo hosting. The site is geared towards bike fanatics of all types. I encourage you to sign up, upload some bikes, tag them up, explore the features on the site and enjoy.
Things to keep an eye out for: new design, friends networking, etc. I developed the site with help from some BFFG people - a big shoutout to everyone who stepped up and gave feedback [esp. dolface and mcatano who spent some extra time with suggestions]. Check out my sig for an example of how to use the site (upload a bike, link it in your sig, etc).
Edit: If you are looking for some pointers on how to use the site, here are a few links to get you started.

- Thumbnails page - to get a quick look at the bikes on the site
- Random bike
- Discover bikes - to find bikes by tag [fixed / track / campagnolo / keirin / etc]
- Tagging guide - to read up on the tagging system and use it to the fullest
- Friends - I coded up the simplest form of social networking, add friends to your bike profile! Keep tabs on bikes that you dig and show your love for those special rides.

haha, I am not involved with 63xc. I am "gregg" on here because "greg" was taken and people always ask if my name is spelled with two g's at the end. It is not. I am merely "greg."

Our very own mcatano suggested a feature a while ago that I finally was able to finish (after much consternation and gnashing of teeth - this seriously took me about 1/2 as long as it did to set up the majority of the site):
FRIENDS! Now you can add Friends to your bike. Whats that mean? At the bottom of every bike you upload you have the option to add Friends and show your love for bikes you especially like.
This is the simplest form of social networking, more features to be coming as time permits. Check out my velospace bike profile for an example of this (scroll down to the bottom).
Woooot!

Its a work in progress, if the site is ever on equal footing with Caster I know I have succeeded.
I'm going to add a page to see who has befriended whom and whatnot. Not tonight, but soon. And the site should have a proper logo in the coming days!

I just added a few more features:
1. You can now see what bikes are the most popular in the Friends system (https://velospace.org/friends), who has added the most Friends (https://velospace.org/friends)
2. On each bike page you can see who has Friended your bike (for example https://velospace.org/node/140#friends)
