Bicycle in NYC without being killed using Ride the City
My CNET colleague in New York, Caroline McCarthy, insists there's not a single safe street for bicyclists in New York City. Don't tell that to Ride the City, a mashup for bikers who don't want to end up road kill in the streets of one of the busiest cities in the world. Like Google Maps, you just plug in your start point and destination and it does the rest. (03/07) MoreYou may also like
