What's the most powerful force in the world?

If you said Google, well you must live in Silicon Valley. However there are others who know while they may not be the most powerful force in the world, they do have a lot of power to create new things (and in full disclosure I work for one of their major competitors). A group of bicycle riders are petitioning the Google Maps team to improve the Google Maps product to have an option to chart out bicycle routes that are safe and convenient. In addition to being an online petition the site GoogleMapsBikeThere.org includes a blog of cool bicycle related links. For instance I just found out that local news paper The Examiner has a blog dedicated to bicycle news.

Good stuff....
