Ride the City is a bicycle route planner to help you map a safe bike route from point A to point B in 46 cities (listed below).
Like other bicycle maps and routing tools, Ride the City finds the shortest distance between two points. Heres how: First, Ride the City avoids roads that arent meant for bicycling, like highways and busy streets. Second, Ride the City steers bikes to routes that maximize bike lanes, bike paths, greenways, and other bicycle friendly streets while avoiding steep hills.
