For those of you that have never visited Ride The City, it's essentially HopStop for bicyclists. Type in your current address + destination and it returns map based turn-by-turn directions using either safest, safe, or most direct route.
Now they've partnered with Door3 and CloudMade to produce this fine resource as an app for the iPhone, iPod Touch, or the iPad (click here to check it out at the app store).
The feature list is below, straight from their website:
- As on the website, the iPhone app steers you toward routes that maximize the use of bike lanes, bike paths, greenways, and other bike-friendly streets. Routes avoid high-traffic streets and steep climbs.
- You can select your preferred route sensitivity: direct, safe, or safer. Or you can change them on the fly.
- The directions are displayed on the map with an easy-to-read scrollable screen – perfect for double-checking your trip when taking a break.
- Find the nearest bike shops (and get directions to one) with just one touch.
