hey guys- thanks for the entertaining side track to the whole pdf thing but can we pull it a bit back on topic or just let this thread die out?
Here's something from the Rutger's report being discussed in a couple of other threads that seemed appropriate:
All large cities and most medium-sized cities in the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany provide detailed maps of their cycling facilities. Some cities have recently introduced Internet
bike route planning to assist cyclists in choosing the route that best serves their needs. In Berlin
and Odense, for example, cyclists can enter their origin and destination as well as a range of
personal preferences, such as speed, on-street or off-street facility, avoiding intersections and
heavy traffic, etc. (City of Berlin, 2007; Andersen, 2005). The Internet program shows the
optimal route on a map and provides all relevant information about time, average speed, bike
parking, and public transport connections. This bike route planning is even possible while en
route, using the LCD display of a mobile phone.
