Ride the District (and surroundings)
Ride the City has officially launched in the Washington area. Their tool plots bicycle routes, combining map directions and knowledge of bike lanes and trails to recommend safe routes.
It’s all based on open map data. Portions of a route that use bicycle lanes appear in green, while portions on-street appear in purple.
It doesn’t appear to know about the 15th Street bike lane, as a trip from the Reeves Center to Dupont Circle goes a bit out of the way to use 14th instead of 15th. The Ride the City team has now added the 15th Street bike lane.
How are the predictions for your usual bicycle routes?
