Almost-Satnav For Cycling

An anonymous reader writes "A couple of guys (us) in Cambridge have written a cycle routing system, CycleStreets.net, based on open data, and have now released it as a free iPhone app. It's been done on a shoestring, in spare time. There's an API and some disruptive tech in the form of a photo submission screen where street problems can be submitted directly. Because it's open data, you don't have to wait 6 months for the routing to be fixed if there's a bug. Android and .mobi versions are in the works, with the apps being done on GitHub."

    You need to do it right. the normal people are fine, it's the ones riding in the spandex trying to show everyone their genitalia... Those are the ones that need a good river ride.

    Dude, you are not going to go faster by wearing tight spandex shorts.. I dont want to see your asscrack in relief or nutsack.. my wife is grossed out about it as well.

    You have the bodies of anorexic women. You can tout your vanity and health all you want to, but your good health ain't gonna save you when your douchebad dick-helmeted ass tries to exercise right-of-way against a semi or Hummer(LOL yuppies killing yuppies) on freeway turnpikes and other sections of road of which your asses doesn't belong. Swerving into the middle of right-turn lanes, doing anything to maintain your heart-rates.

    This is what sane people hope happens to you. Where's your "health" now, yuppies?!
