A portal for all things bicycling: commuting, touring, safety, and planning in New York, with links to Complete Streets Legislation and other policy documents. With only sparsely completed maps mashed with Google Maps, use Google Maps instead.

Orpheus' music was so powerful that no one could resist it—not even the fairest maiden. He chose the lovely Eurydice to be his wife. But their joy was brief. As Eurydice walked through a meadow shortly after their wedding, a poisonous snake bit her. She died, leaving Orpheus alone and deeply saddened. Overcome by grief, he decided to travel to the land of the dead to get her.

Nice, but see from http://m.google.com/maps Apple still lacks social features requiring a Google login, such as personal, saved, and shared maps, and other features such as navigation from your own maps.

These awesome and thoughtful pair of pages, which differ between desktop and mobile browsers, help get you to your destination. On a desktop, it introduces Google Transit and lets you enter an origin and destination, which then returns directions on Google Maps. On a location-aware mobile, it lists stations, stops, services, and schedules available at your location, in quick and handy tables. Of course when mobile, try also the wonderful Android app Google Maps, and its okay versions on iPhone and Blackberry. In the apps, select Directions and then the bus icon for Transit.
