NolaCycle Bike Map Project: Zombie bike race October 31st!!!!

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!

If you have questions, feel free to make a public comment on the blog entry or e-mail us directly at info@nolacycle.com.

Zombie bike race October 31st!!!!

Nola Bike Race is holding it's annual Halloween alley cat race on Halloween this year. If you'd like to volunteer/dress up like a zombie and man the check points and whatever else Paul needs you to do, you should e-mail him. info@nolabikerace.com. Seriously, really, you should volunteer if you're not going to race. And if you're not going to volunteer, you should race.

And if you're out of town, you can sit around and be upset that nothing this fun ever happens where you are right now.
