Today (3 June) is #WorldBicycleDay! 🚲🚲

#OpenStreetMap has always had lots of cycling enthusiasts, mappers, cartographers and devs! 🚲

JFK said “Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of riding a bike”, we agree but would include “or OSM mapping”. 🙂🚲🗺️🔎

2 #bicycle maps are visible on OSM.org: OpenCycleMap <https://osm.org/#layers=C> and CyclOSM <https://osm.org/#layers=Y>

To find out how to map #bike features, check out the #OSM wiki:
