In yet another great fusion of user-generated know-how and Google Maps, Bikely bike maps plot routes all over the globe (though primarily in North America and Europe, at the moment) used by cyclists who’ve been there, ridden that, and survived to recommend them. In crowded urban areas, where anyone on a bike knows that a few inches of well-paved road space are the only thing between you and the next open car door, that’s some valuable knowledge. All of the routes are carefully marked with waypoints, and some include helpful information about bike lanes, road surface quality and places to watch out for drivers that aren’t watching out for you.
