B' Spokes: First kudos for getting this up on the web. But I'll note if you turn on the &quot;Bicycle Level of Comfort&quot; layer they grouped grades C &amp; D together and that's not right. That would be like saying here is a list of restaurants that are satisfactory and less than satisfactory and we are not going to tell which is which so go ahead and just try them out and if you don't like it well that's what a grade D means.

I have to ask how is that promoting bicycling or encouraging people to ride if the state knowling says roads that are less than satisfactory are satisfactory? This also ties into the state's 20 year bicycling plan (which is currently being updated) which has a goal of 80% of state roads with a BLOC grade D (unsatisfactory) or better. We need a goal of 100% BLOC grade C or better and no more BS about how goals need to be attainable and then the state knocks out a 20 year goal in less than a year and then we got stuck with no improvement for the next ten years. The CTP is for attainable goals not the long range plan!

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.

A long way to go before the map is at all realistic: 'A' routes on US 29 and I 195. I have some worry about those.
