Getting From A to B by Bike
Ride the City
DC residents, are you feeling bad that you can’t get the folks at Bike Arlington to map our your commute for you by bike because you’re not an Arlingtonian? Well here’s a new cool little biking tool that will help you get around the District: Ride the City. Enter your starting location, your ending location, and whether you want a “safer” ride, a “safe” ride, or the most direct route, and Ride the City will chart a course for you. They’ll also tell you the elevation gain, approximately how long it will take, and which parts of your ride include bike lanes– and you can rate the route to provide feedback. This just made biking around the city a lot easier. Now, if only they could show the nearest bike racks to your ending location!

This site is amazing. It was even able to chart out a hypothetical commute to outside the beltway.

Wow, this website already is going to save me some time on my bike commute. I had been taking a route that is about 1 mile longer than a route recommended by the map. I can’t wait to try this new route. Kudos to the website designers.
