NolaCycle is a project aimed to create a high quality cycling map of New Orleans. Cycling maps include information beyond just streets and their names that benefits cyclists. In our map, we highlight the pavement quality, car travel speed, lane width, and special caution areas (busy intersections, man-eating potholes, or high accident areas). Volunteers help to collect this data by attending mapping events.
The information is then digitized to make a map of the data we collected to help cyclists - young, old, local, and tourist alike - navigate New Orleans.

Check out the blog for updates on the project, ways to get involved, and volunteer mapping events!

Hey, did you know we have a facebook group?

I've been getting a lot of request to be added to the mailing list, so I figured I should repost the fact that NolaCycle has a facebook group - NolaCycle Community Bike Mapping Project.  It's another way you can stay up-to-date with what's going on.  We create a facebook event for every mapping meet-up, so if you need some help remembering when events are, joining the group is a great way to stay on track.
