Hi! The city I live in is going through a mobility crisis as the economy here has resulted in a bumper crop of cars on streets designed in the early 1900s.
There ARE a lot of bikers but usually those involved in public policy are leisure/sport bikers and the large mass of commuters is mostly untapped for their views. I believe in data being used to determine best solutions for creating routes. I'd like to know if* anybody can tell me* what bike route/path/lane/boulevard has the steepest grade in Madison (what is the grade and street name/numbers so I can streetview it)? They say our streets are too steep for people to consider commuting (and there are some steep places but there are also ways/routes to deal with that). They also say it gets too hot here (avg 68ºF-88ºF). I know..... I'd also like to know if folks have any preferred tools for measuring/mapping gradient. I've been playing with Google's My Tracks app but it won't work on my phone - only my tablet: MyTracks site http://www.google.com/mobile/mytracks/ An example from here (if you click on the end point -lower right- you can see the data) https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=212638913161739896841.0004ed42fb622ebc15c44&msa=0 -- Matthew (Mateus) Berigan *- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * Campina Grande, Paraiba Brasil 083-8787-4929 (Brasil cell) 608-237-1596 (U.S. line) [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
