Extra, Extra: Bike Maps, Baby Quilts, and Café Quests
Every weekday’s end, Extra, Extra collects just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.
Two screenshots of Toronto Bike Map, which maps out bike-friendly routes—and, with GPS on, hunts for nearby ones.
- There’s a new little, free iPhone application for pinning down a bike route near you. Created by Mike Lin, Toronto Bike Map maps out bike lanes, sharrows, park roads, and other cyclist-friendly paths in the city. (Though Jarvis is conspicuously missing for now.) Meanwhile, Biking Toronto is asking their readers to vote on Toronto’s best bike lane.
- Speaking of Toronto maps, howsabout this baby quilt, made by the Brooklyn-based Haptic Lab?
- And Torontoist’s own Steve Kupferman is on a quest to visit and review every café on Bloor between Christie and Spadina over on his blog. So far, he’s been to seven. “The truth is that I don’t even like coffee that much,” he wrote in his introductory post back in April. “I just like sitting in places that serve it.”
