Just because I crunched to get it all done by this evening, here are the site stats for the the Cyclofiend.com Galleries this year:
Year 4: Cyclofiend.com 2008 Year-End Wrap-Up
Submissions for 2008:
Current Classics: 166 Bicycles
Cross Bikes: 13 Bicycles
Single Speeds: 90 Bicycles
Working Bikes: 27 Bicycles
Total Gallery Submissions in 2008 (Not including “Revisions”): 296 Bicycles
There are a total of 975 bicycles presented in the four main galleries.
Overall submissions dipped a little this past year (actually, Singlespeeds was higher than last year), but I think I bear most of the blame on that one - got way backlogged for all sorts of reasons, and at its worst, some folks very patiently waited up to a month or two before things got posted. Once I got back on my game, it seemed a lot more photos started floating in again.
Of course, the 2009 Current Classics Calendar got done, and there are now two more t-shirt designs. A little hectic to keep those things on schedule, but the feedback seems very positive.
I appreciate all the comments and emails, continued photo submissions and everything else. Without your support and input, this whole thing really wouldn’t work. It hardly begins to cover it, but thank you one and all!
All the best and may the rides be many in the new year!
January 5th, 2009 at 2:55 pm Hi Jim,
Your site is a frequent stop for me. Thanks for all the hard work and time spent keeping it together! Apologies for the unsolicited request but…would it be possible to somehow distinguish the new entries in each category from the old? Maybe they could be a different color, or separated by a space or something like that. I know you can’t maintain the website on a regular basis but I get confused when a slew of new bikes are added. Occasionally enough time has gone by that my browser no longer colors the “visited” links for me, so they all look new, and then I don’t know where to start.
Anyways, just a thought.
Thanks again!
