Re: a loop for you in Bikely
Jack Newlevant
Maybe optional subsections? Various ways to get between
places, e.g. downtown & Fairmount, downtown & Skyline,
Skyline & Helvetia, Beaverton TC, Roy or North Plains? But
you won't be surprised to hear I favor suitability maps -
portable, flexible, durable, compact - and fantasize about
the coming day when we have a really bike-smart trip planner
in our handlebar GPS!
Wyatt,
Meanwhile Bycycle output might look more like a Bikely Route
with cue sheet. With some of our spare (ho ho!) time &
energy we should be talking to them.
