Other Efforts

Part of the reason we started this website/petition was because we saw so many similar efforts going on all over the world - they all manage to push bicycle route mapping in the right direction. Many people already use these services. Still, most of the services seemed to have their own unique interface, most covered only a select area, and none provided the native/embedded Google Maps support we thought would be so useful.

Below are a list of ongoing bicycle mapping efforts from around the world. If you know of a website/service that is not listed here, please send us the URL and we’ll add it. Thank you.

These are in no particular order.

[A reader sent me a list of other sites - I'll update the table soon.]
