So, living in a fairly bike-friendly non-city, I can get around fine by bike, myself, but I do understand how daunting the task of bicycle commuting can be when there are SO many more cars and things just aren’t very safe. That’s why the idea of byCycle.org is really cool. While the site currently isn’t very expansive, its concept is to provide maps (a la mapquest et al) of routes that are safe for bikers. Hopefully the project will develop to a point where it covers every city in the U.S….maybe the world!
