Biking
As much cool stuff as there is on the world wide web, there are still a lot of things missing. When I got back into bike riding, I was interested in finding where I could around here. I did some research and found out that there are few, if any, online maps of things around where I live. But, it turns out that a good thing came of it. I called my city--they sent me a truly amazing paper map with all the paved, unpaved, street, and other trails for for all the major and minor cities, as far away as 60 miles! I've got mine posted with magnets on my fridge--it uses up the entire top half of one side! My town has the most bike paths of any of them, too. :)
