bikequest pipe dream

[moominmolly]

I want a Mapquest-type thing that takes bikeable routes into consideration. You know, like, one which takes the data from Rubel and other similar regional bike maps and has a little tab that says "BIKE ROUTE" alongside the ones that say "AVOID HIGHWAYS" and "SHORTEST ROUTE". If only regional bike map makers had a standard.

IBM might be moving us to:

* Waltham
* Cambridge
* North Reading
* Nowhere.

Who knows? We find out in the next few weeks. I guess North Reading isn't that far -- Mapquest's no-highway route is still under 16 miles -- but I gotta say, I'd prefer Cambridge.

Yeah, 28 was the only way I could think of that didn't require biking through Arlington, Lexington, and Woburn. That way's pretty damn long, though.

North Reading is as bad as you say, definitely. Between that, Wilmington, and Tewksbury, it's a total no-mans-land out there!
