The Washington Bike Wiki is bicycle information by the Washington D.C. bike community for the Washington D.C. bike community.
A lot of ephemeral information is shared among bikers - this is a space to capture that information in an informal space. This is not meant as a replacement of the fantastic groups like WABA and the people who create wonderful bike maps. Rather this is the opportunity for the bike community to come together and share information on a less formal basis that will serve to promote biking.
The first project is a Google Map Mashup - the objective here is to capture shared information. Concern is given to real time information that high quality static bike maps
dontdon't capture. This might include a hit-and-run where the biker victim is calling for witnesses, a bridge that has been washed out, or a bike path detour based on
contrustion.construction.
