About Ride the City?

Welcome to Ride the City, a website that helps you find the safest bike routes in cities.

Like MapQuest, Google Maps, and other mapping applications, Ride the City finds the shortest distance between two points, with a difference. First, RTC avoids roads that aren't meant for biking, like highways and busy arterial streets. Second, RTC tries to steer cyclists toward routes that maximize the use of bike lanes, bike paths, greenways, and other bike-friendly streets.

Remember that Ride the City is in its beta testing phase. Click the feedback link in the menu bar to send us your route suggestions and it will make the site even better.

Who made Ride the City?

Ride the City was launched by Vaidila Kungys (@vaidila) and Jordan Anderson (@jordan_anderson), friends who met while enrolled in New York University's urban planning program.

Ride the City would not have been possible without: Josh Steinbauer, who designed our logo and the site's initial layout; AnnMarie Harris, our favorite writer, editor, and marketer; and all of the good people of New York, Chicago, Austin, and other cities who have provided data and feedback to help us expand the service and improve the quality of the routes.
