Hi! just following up on this. We are looking at getting the data put on Open Street Map, but it will be a manual effort. If you'd like to get plugged in to helping, please email me at [email protected]!

Good question! I'll add it to my list of things to look in to :)

I’m so excited to bring this to more people and more places, and would love to talk to anyone who has ideas or would like to collaborate. For now, I hope you visit the Bike Guide’s website here www.HoustonBikeGuide.com and enjoy the Houston Chronicle profile www.houstonchronicle.com/projects/202...

Everybody deserves to safely enjoy their neighborhoods, towns, and cities to the fullest, and a reliable Bike Guide is foundational to that enjoyment.

The Bike Guide has expanded to include neighborhood-specific guides, a mapped network of ‘super ways,’ the biking highways of Houston, as well as supporting community rides. I’ve even started to map out all the ‘on-ramps’ to the beautiful bayou network.

It began by drawing the way I found myself consistently explaining, out loud to people, how to navigate by bike— by explaining which streets to avoid and how to get across them safely.

This project has been near and dear to me, worked on late at night and on the weekends— with many collaborators— since 2020. It’s a project based on years of trying to use bike maps, wayfinding, and infrastructure in dozens of cities.

Last month, I had the honor to be featured in the @houstonchronicle.com for initiating and leading the Houston Bike Guide—the city’s only reliable reference guide for where to and not to bike.

As George Monbiot recently wrote: "The one thing that can stop the rise of the far right is the one thing mainstream parties are currently not prepared to deliver: greater equality. The rich should be taxed more, and the revenue used to improve the lives of the poor."
