Interactive Bike Trip Planner

Select your start and end points from a Google map and a street-legal map with cue sheet and detailed elevation profile is prepared for you. By adjusting a couple of "knobs", you can avoid higher-traffic streets or take less hilly routes. I've only played with it for a few minutes and can see myself getting absorbed by the possibilities.

The site trip.atltransit.com is put together by the Citizens for Progressive Transit, an Atlanta-based advocacy group.

This is open source software, so it's just a small matter of customizing it for Bloomington ;-).

Oh my gosh! I didn't even notice it's open source. That makes it even cooler.
