Sarah,
Hi. I'd like to tell the SDTC about a new
resource for bicyclists. It's called Ride the City (www.ridethecity.com) and provides safe bike
routes. We're just testing it now for San Diego. Like Mapquest, you
simply plug in your start & end address and Ride the City generates
a bike route, prioritizing greenways and bike lanes. I thought I'd let
you know about it. If you have time, please feel free to test some
routes and let us know any thoughts, good or bad. The website has a
"rate the route" button that allows users to click after generating a
route, we use that data to improve the routes.
By the way, although we don't show it yet, we also take elevation into account, so you get not only the safest but also the least hilly routes. Feel free to pass this on. Once we get sufficient comments and feel the routes are pretty good, we'll launch it formally. Thanks.
All best,
Vaidila
