Where Cyclists Find Everything: Campgrounds, Bike Shops, and More. The goal of this project is to map all of the points of interests a cycle tourist would want so that you can easily find them while planning, and verify them from the road.

GoBikeCamping.com just hit 200 users accounts! This project is about a year old now, and we have 665 campsites and 71 bike shops currently on our map - with many more still in the queue to be reviewed.

A project I remember talking about in 2020. Then, some protection was removed. Now 5 years later, it's all gone. Unbuffered painted lanes remain only in the most stressful areas.

19% parking utilization and we're still talking about parking.

DOTI is unserious.

New release for GoBikeCamping.com is out! You can now put a GPX route on the map and see how far away a POI is from your route. It also adds mile markers to the route to help you better estimate distance.

Larimer St. Block Party!
Sunday 3/30 from 12-3pm
Outside of Ratio Brewing
Back by popular demand! We'll be taking to the street again to protest the removal of Car-Free Larimer. We had such a good turn out last month, that we've decided to do this on the last
Sunday of every month until that block is opened to people again.
Bring chairs, blankets, cards, balls, anything you want to make it a fun time.

Thank you to everyone that has been contributing sites to the map. Touring season has already started in the southern US, but I'm working hard to get out some great features for the summer touring season for us in more northern regions.

Good bike touring news - it turns out Connecticut has a version of a No-Turn-Away policy. One of our contributors figured this out and we have added it to our list of states with these policies. You can learn more about it here:

I never thought of that! That’d be very cool. I’ll start thinking about how I’ll incorporate that. Do you know of any festivals I should look up?

Thanks for adding stuff!
