Commuting - Do we want/need a sticky for commute pictures?

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
Many people have posted pictures of their commute. Some are "interesting", some are scenic, some show heavy traffic or bad roads, some are dangerous for various reasons, some just look scary to me, etc.
We have stickys of bike pictures, so do we want a sticky of commute pictures or photos taken along the route? It may only be one or two pictures or as many as you'd like.
If you're interested I'll start with pictures of my commute.
Beware 56k dialup users - 28 pictures :o .

Feel free to post a link to your commute pics while we wait for the results of the poll.
I love this idea. I find looking at commute pictures a lot more fun than looking at commuting bike pictures actually. And this is coming from a person who takes an hour to walk 100 m in downtown Toronto because she's checking out all the bikes parked on the street. :)

Note that I have moved and have a new, longer, more attractive ride. Soon I will take the camera again and post the results.
Thanks. :) RonH, you really have a nice commute. Mad Scientist: well, I hope your new commute is better than the old. :) Although it probably looks much nicer in the summer.

I'd rather see a sub-forum than a sticky. That way, each thread would contain a new route along with appropriate on-topic comments. It will be way more confusing to just have one sticky with tons of links and discussion about all of the commutes.
That being said, I voted no.

I dislike stickies. Every thread should rise or fall of its own popularity.

I voted yes...but hesitantly. I agree that I like seeing pictures of commutes, but we have a lot of stickies in this thread already. Maybe once the $10,000 bet and light selection threads get tossed. I agree with Old Dirt Hill on this, maybe separate the thread into a sub-forum.
Mad Scientist-I forgot to mention-no pictures with snow or ice. Are you trying to freeze us Southerners? ;)
Nice commute though. I like the "beautiful" bike path. :lol:
Old Dirt Hill and GT-maybe a subforum would be better-never though of that. Of course a subforum can be kind of "hidden". If someone doesn't know the subforum is there they won't see it.
Here's mine again for those who missed it the first time:

I like of the idea of a commuting picture sub-forum. Old Dirt Hill's idea of
each thread would contain a new route along with appropriate on-topic comments is a good one. I would not want it to become like the total geekness thread: it is overlong, and it has been up so long that a lot of picture links don't work (I know mine don't!).

I would like to change my yes vote to a subforum vote.
I may even post a thread there. :)
Friday is the last day to vote.
