London Opens Bike “Superhighways” - GOOD Blog
“Each is five feet wide, has two lanes so as to accommodate traffic in both directions, and is painted bright blue to “represent freedom.” One stretches 8.5 miles from the southern suburb of Merton to the city center. The other runs into town from Barking, in eastern London. Eventually, 12 of these commuter routes will radiate out from the center of London like spokes.”
From Gizmodo:
“StreetMuseum makes creative use of Google Maps and geo-tagging to show users how London used to look. You can use it to check out pictures and info about nearby historic locations, which is has more of a straightforward walking tour feel. But the fun starts when you’re actually standing in front of a location in the database.”
