DC’s bike lanes and routes drawn on a Google Map.
Inspired by the Apps for Democracy contest which encouraged developers to build useful applications from DC’s Data Catalog, I built a Google Maps mashup which displays bike lanes and signed bike routes. Use the map as a starting to point to plan your ride through the city.
Tech Notes
The ‘Bicycle Lane‘ and ‘Signed Bike Route‘ KMZ files from the DC Data Catalog are used. Data is pulled daily. Before displaying, the files are filtered to display only existing bike lanes.

Take a look at OpenCycleMap.org
I think you will find a really nice surprise.

This is great Lokesh! I showed DC’s CTO your app and he thought it was wonderful that you were inspired to create this subsequent to the contest ending. I’ve posted it to the applications directory here:
