Found an old 2003 NYC Cycling Map (left). It’s amazing to compare it side-by-side with with the new 2009 version (right). Red represents on-street bike lanes and green is offstreet routes. The improvement is just phenomenal.

Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard the past 5 years making NYC such a great place to ride!
