For the first time ever the City of Portland’s official bike map is available in an interactive online version.
This is great news for anyone who wants to learn more about how to get around town on a bike using the safest, most efficient routes.
The map is very detailed and allows you to zoom in for fine-grain analysis and inspection. Layers can be turned off and on and include helpful symbols that tell you the the location of: bike shops, one-way streets, climbs, caution areas, and more. Click on a bike shop symbol (blue wrench) and a window pops up allowing you to go directly to the shop’s website. Both satellite and basic map view are available. The mobile version works very well so I recommend adding a button to map on your home screen.
This latest GIS-powered version sure has come a long way since PBOT’s 1975 “From here to there by bicycle” map.
