 Point-to-Point Bike Routing for the Region

BikePlanner.org is a bike routing website from OpenPlans that uses the impressive crowdsourced OpenStreetMap.  You can instantly set your personal preferences for “fastest”, “safest”, or “flattest” route using the handy triangle selector and can also choose personal bike or bikeshare. BikePlanner is free and easy to use on your computer, tablet or smartphone. Everyone is encouraged to try BikePlanner.Org and see what routing you get for your trips.  If you find a routing that is less than optimal, don’t despair, log into www.openstreetmap.org and investigate the problem area to see if you can correct the base map so that it provides improved routing.
