Okay! New map! The attachment is the first representation of dataset 1.1, using a lot of dotted green lines (as per the Seattle map legend) to show non-bike-signed routes commonly used by people biking.
(It's not full resolution because Mastodon shrinks it.)
It also includes a couple of actual bike-supporting routes I missed in dataset 1.0, and a lot more dirt/loose gravel trails, particularly in unincorporated King County and on the northern Eastside. But there's bits of adds everywhere.
The dotted green is experimental. Feedback is definitely requested.
Full resolution is at Github, select the map labelled "EXPERIMENTAL":
One thing working with the version 1.1 dataset is telling me is that if there are some pretty obvious-seeming ways that an un-notated map would tell you to go... but the heat data says nobody does that.
And that's the value of including these green dashed lines, because ... that lack of heat data says there's a reason not go do there.
That's where the bike lanes stop and everybody gets RIGHT the fuck off. People going to Woodinville divert out of their way over to Sammamish River and people going to Tolt Pipeline divert towards 112th via 156th, despite both of those being longer routes.
And I don't know the reason. I can make some pretty good guesses, but they're guesses.
But I don't need to; the heat map tells me what's up.
Has anyone here used the Avondale Road barely-marked "bike lanes" from around the Power Line Trail up to NE 132nd? Because on Google Maps they lack things like "this is a bike lane" markers except at the very, very end. Right now I've marked them as dual sharerows because of how bad they look to me. But are they secretly okay in person?
There’s a bike policy ride this Saturday in #Beaverton where you can hear and ask questions about #Biking infrastructure projects to reduce car dependence in the city.
My bike ride today was only 4.5 miles... It was pretty windy and started to rain so I called it and headed home.
The great thing about the cemetery is that when you reach an intersection you often have multiple choices and some might be uphill, some might be downhill, or flat, so you can choose your adventure.
Why were most of the cyclists in this photo wearing masks in November 1977? Was it to avoid breathing polluted air?
If so, thank goodness we have the EPA now; I hope we can address modern threats to air quality, like climate change related wildfires, rather than giving up and letting the air become difficult to breathe again.
A quickie ten minutes #biking ride around Montréal to get some air and reset the mind, after spending two whole days trying to do color calibration for 4 scanners on Linux, a maddeningly tedious and confusing #colormanagement process 😌
The Cheshire Rail Trail goes from Keene, NH to Bellows Falls, VT but it looks faint and elusive the further you get from Keene. I'm checking out someone’s Street View, wondering if the family can/would try it, then I pan the camera down to see who’s riding it. ";^)
Shot in 2020, I wonder if the trail has had much work since?
