Cycling Maps - Victoria
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2012 12:28 pm
Was in my LBS yesterday and picked up a map "Where to Ride - Melbourne Cycling Map - Map 1: Central Melboune & Inner Suburbs". The bike shop didn't know if there were more maps covering other areas of Melbourne. They said you were supposed to buy the book.
What I like about this map is that it is basically a fold out Melways highlighting cycle paths and routes which allows me to plot where I want to ride using cycle paths as much as possible, and, if something went wrong on my ride I would be able to find my way to the closest train station for getting home. Most of the maps in guide books seem to me to be rather lacking in surrounding area information and seem to have far more information on things like local cafes. and don't give much in the way of surrounding streets info.
Wondering if anyone knows if there are more of these in a series - the fact that this one is labelled Map1, encourages me to believe there are - and if so where I would be able to pick them up. Most of my riding at the moment is not covered by this map.
