This looks like a great resource, though I haven't tried it.

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

Great idea, but..... I tried out several routes that included bike paths and I was disappointed to discover that the map data is obsolete or inaccurate. A few...

Well, Rich, since they're asking for input to improve it, perhaps instead of just shooting it down to us, you can share your thoughts with them, where it will...
