On September 6th, 2008, Richmond, Indiana will have maps printed for a network of recommended bike route
map developed by experienced cyclists The city government endorsed and supported the project but was unable to fund it.
You can preview the front and back of the 17x22 map online.
Over the next several posts I'll detail how I led that effort. I hope that by sharing may experience in this project it may guide other motivated citizens who would like official bike routes in their towns, but don't want to wait until their cities have both the time and the money to produce them on their own.
If there's a quick summary to process, it's this: Anyone is welcome to design
and print a map, and it is experienced cyclists, not city bureaucrats, who are
most qualified to determine what recommended bike routes should be.
