Google Maps now supports biking

The “Get Directions” feature in Google Maps now has a bicycling option for choosing routes along paths that avoid hills and traffic. Sadly, it doesn’t really know much about bike paths in SLO just yet, but Google promises to continue working on this and extend this new feature to many more cities.

BIKE THIEVES SUCK!

Bike thieves deserve to be hit by fast moving buses so they can be sent to hell that much faster.

This LOCKED bike was stolen from downtown Friday between 7AM & 2PM. WTF! How long do you think you can ride this around before you get beaten by those who are stick of hearing about all the bikes that have been stolen in the recent months?

One option for the bike thief of this particular bike is to hide the tallbike in a secure location and then call it’s rightful owner from a blocked phone number to let him know where it is. 949.933.5560

If you know who the jackass is who stole this bike, let him/her know about the option above or take measures into your own hands and do it yourself.

Another stolen bike

Aquablonde says:



Post-bike night last thursday, my bombshell of a bike was taken from the outside of the AGR frat house off foothill and california. It was locked up to their barbeque with TWO bike locks, yet somehow the little criminal managed to break through the kryptonite. I’m on a mission to recover my baby. If you happen to come across it, lock it up and contact me at this email address: aquablonde21 AT aol DOT com. Heres a description of the bicycle…

  • Off-white 54 cm men’s specialized sirrus frame with pink decals (potentially spray painted by now)
  • Blue DURA nylon tires
  • Black Wolber rims
  • Shimano Biopace cranks
  • Black WTB saddle
  • Full shimano 105 groupset
  • Blue pedals
  • custom stem
  • zebra griptape wrapped dropbars

Its pretty unique, so keep your eyes peeled my fellow bike lovers.
