Google Maps Does Bicycling

Clicking through Facebook this morning I ran across an article (by Bicycle Times) sharing news that Google Maps now offers mapping for bicycle routes. YES! This is awesome news!

I have been playing with the map, which is still in beta, but it is a great tool. If you are needing to map a ride to work or are calculating mileage for a recreational ride you are going to want to take a look Google Maps.

The Friday Connection

Happy Friday to you!

If you're an Idahoan and a cyclist you are going to love this week's link. If you're not an Idahoan . . . you might be encouraged to come visit. Our link this week is an interactive bike map of Idaho! Thanks to Faye for sending these links over! The map provides information on state roadways. This includes "shoulder width, traffic levels, steep grades, and more."

In the same email there was a link to Idaho cycling associations and advisory groups.

And there was also an email address for Idaho's Statewide Bicycle Coordinator (bikeped@itd.idaho.gov) If you have comments or questions on how to improve cycling in Idaho you can contact the coordinator.

Thanks, Faye, for sending out these links. I think they will be very helpful for our cycling friends out there.
