  1. It occurred to me that some other folks might like to use the bicycle
    images from my screensaver, so I've prepared a collection of 127
    images, all 1024 x 768 pixels, horizontal orientation that you're
    welcome to download to use as a screensaver or desktop wallpaper.

    There's an index file with thumbnails at http://sheldonbrown.com/screensaver

    The images are all located in the file http://sheldonbrown.com/bike-screensaver1024x768/images

    This index page gives you a preview of what the images are, so you can
    pick and choose if you wish.
    Most of the images are original photographs, of bikes or parts. Some
    are scans from old catalogues, and others are from various other
    sources. Most of the strange-looking bikes are my own creations.

    You are welcome to use these images as screensavers or desktop
    backgrounds on your own computer, but all other rights are reserved.

    Neato. Is there a story behind some of these pictures? For example,
    where was the watertown-cellar picture taken and what's in it? Or
    what's the background to the thorn-weston shot?

    Pat

    Email address works as is.

    It was such a nice gesture from Sheldon. Why do you have to spoil it?

    No boneshakers, ordinary's, hard tyres, triplets etc *), but last time
    I looked a Greenspeed trike qualified as a recumbent.

    I think Sheldon is owned an apology 😉

    I didn't mean it to offend Sheldon. But I just didn't see any 'bents on
    there. And I just looked again and still didn't see a Greenspeed. Can
    you point it out to me or am I just blind.

    I presume that it is from his private stuff, so it is his personal
    preference. I don't see pictures of modern CF frames or boutique wheels.
    I figured out why myself. Enjoy what he is generously offered to share,
    not question why something is not there.

    Happy new years eve.

    Oh I didn't look at that page. I just looked here :
    http://sheldonbrown.com/screensaver which does not seem to have that image.

    On my web browser it's the last image on the seventh row on that page.
    If I were you I'd stop digging quite soon.

    LOL. Perhaps he should have called them human powered vehicles. Which
    could have included pedal / paddle boats, which might be hard to use on
    the streets.

    Not that it matters, but recumbents are bicycles.
