Bike Commuting

March 10, 2006 in Cycling.

We finally had some warm weather here in New England. It was over 60 degrees today, and that has me getting ready to start commuting to work by bicycle. I found another Google maps mashup site where you can plot your routes on a map and it will tell you the milliage. It is at http://www.gmap-pedometer.com.

Here a link to a map of my regular bike route to the Worldwide Leader in Sports. It is about a 16.5 mile one way trip.

I have been playing a lot with the Google Maps API over the last couple of weeks, and I plan to incorporate this type of mapping into BikeRide.com soon.

About Brent

I have been a Web Developer since the early '90s working on some of the highest traffic sites on the internet such as MSN.com and ESPN.com. Since 2007 I have been using Ruby on Rails while working for Sports Technologies, a small internet company in Connecticut, developing features for FanNation.com and Fantasy Sports applications for Sports Illustrated.

I am interested in all things related to Social Media, User Experience, and creating great Web Applications.

I am a Cycling enthusiast who raced competitively for many years, and still try to get out and ride as much as I can. I created the site BikeRide.com and have developed some other cycling related sites in the past.

I am a husband, and the father of two girls. I grew up in western Washington, but now live in Connecticut.
