Share Your Boston Biking Tips With NYT Map

Do you have advice for fellow cyclists about where you pedal in and around Boston?

Boston is fast becoming a choice city for cyclists. That’s not only evident by watching the roads, but also by watching what people have to say online about the various bike paths and not-so-visible cycling areas in and around the city.

The New York Times has published a comment-driven mapgenerated by people who cycle in and around major U.S. cities.

By clicking the “Boston” tab, a reader would learn that police are on Kent Street waiting to give law-breaking cyclists a ticket, or that the Muddy River path is a solid, off-street connector between Jamaica Plain and the Fenway area.

The feature is called “Your Biking Wisdom in 10 Words,” and it has over 6,000 comments overall, several in the Boston area.
