As the National Bike to Work Week wraps up I wanted to share with you some of the apps and websites that will help you get out and plan the commute on your environmentally friendly/ health improving bicycle.
Trails.com
This awesome website allows you to rate trails, see trails rated by other people according to what they are suitable for. For example, a trail is rated differently whether you select mountain biking or road biking due to the terrain. You can also track your trails and get some awesome tips for all-around outdoor activities.

Did you know that when you enter in directions from Point A to Point B there are four different transportation options? You can either select Car, Walk, Use Public Transit or Bike. Click bike and you will be shown the best route, distance, and expected time to lapse.
