I can't make that meeting time, but wanted to share this bikie website that I
found recently for minneapolis: http://cyclopath.org/
Once you put in your destinations and starting point, it generates a really
neat
map for bikies. Also provides users with a ton of good info on bike paths.
Cyclopath has their mapping function available on an Android. I'd like to see
such a thing for my Iphone here in Madison. Google bikemaps are okay, but not
the best, and often in beta mode.
Do we have any techies on this list?
Linda
