   I am working on a demo for a bicycle touring site:
   
   http://czechgreenways.wordpress.com/
   
   This is preliminary work, but enough links and navigation are in place so that you can see how the website works, and how it provides access to maps, GPX files, and cue sheets. Your comments please? Does anybody have any good photos of touring bikes in Europe that I could use?
   
   It is built with maps and cue sheets from Bikely.com, and I have offloaded graphics from Flickr, providing links back to credit the photographers and give them some traffic. Some of those photos are under creative commons license, but others are not. I am assuming that the meaning of "share your photos" is, please link to my photo and direct traffic back to my photo album for me. I haven't actually downloaded anyone else's photos unless they are creative commons.
   
   I built the site partly to test out Wordpress. I found that Wordpress has some real limitations for this kind of site. If anyone knows of a content management system with some kind of rudimentary database built in, that offers low-cost shared hosting, let me know. I wanted to use jotspot.com, but Google has had it locked up ever since they bought it, presumably to kill it so that they could offer something of their own that they are developing.
   
   This site is going to be absolutely non-commercial. I am probably going to give it to a non-profit I am affiliated with that is very interested in bicycling.
