Matt and Aaron; Those are good ideas. One idea I had is to find and map locations in town (er, city) that cyclists can ride too that not only cater to cyclists but at least have amenities for cyclists like restaurants, coffee shops, and other touristy places for locals. They don't have to be out of town excursions like those hosted by Bombay Bicycle Club. Although there's nothing wrong with that either. BTW, as I heard once at a Platinum Bike committee once that hizzoner dislikes the term "urban escape route." How about "Rural Access Route" or "Inter-urban Transient Phase Route" or "Sans-Traffic-Light and Uncurbed Route," or...
