Sign Here, Bike There

  • Posted by: Jason Jude Chan

While we’ve never said that bicycles > cars, we do believe that they should at least have space on our roads. To that end, we were excited to see a petition to add a “Bike There” option to Google’s traffic-heavy Maps pages. The petition’s fine print makes a why-doesn’t-this-exist case, playing the safety and environment cards and reminding Google of its core mission: “organizing the world’s information and making it universally accessible and useful.”

After all, it can’t hurt to try, right? Here’s the signature page if you’re tired of biking alongside inconsiderate cars—or vice-versa of course.
