New Bike Maps Available For Phoenix East & West PHOENIX – Phoenix Mapping Service, in cooperation with the Coalition of Arizona Bicyclists and bicycle shops around the valley, has just released a newly updated set of biking maps for the Phoenix area. The two bike maps (one of Metro Phoenix East and the other of Metro Phoenix West) are all-new editions designed for bicyclists by bicyclists. Want to get out and ride your bike, but you don’t know where to go? You’ve heard there are a lot of bike routes around Phoenix, but don’t know where they are. Wondering if it is really possible to get around the Phoenix metro area on a bicycle? The answers are provided by these two new maps. These maps show bike routes, streets with bike lanes, location of multi-use paths and a wealth of helpful cycling information. Unlike other bike map efforts that only show bike routes and major streets, the BIKE MAP OF PHOENIX EAST and the BIKE MAP OF PHOENIX WEST show greater street detail. Residential streets appear on the maps, along with parks, recreation areas, libraries, major shopping centers and other points of interest. The officially designated bicycle route network is shown. Color-coded lines on the street maps clearly identify Bike Routes, Bike Lanes, Multi-use Paths and Unpaved Paths, including trails in the mountain preserves. Popular routes not marked by signs or lanes, which can provide fun and interesting places to ride, are yet another new addition. An especially helpful item on the map is the identification of bicycle-friendly crossings, such as tunnels or overpasses. Both maps are printed on special synthetic paper that is weather proof and almost indestructible, making them especially useful for cyclists. The maps sell for $12.95 each at bike shops, map stores and selected bookstores throughout the Metro Phoenix area. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each map goes to the Coalition of Arizona Bicyclists to support their efforts to improve cycling in Arizona. The maps are also available at Wide World of Maps stores in Phoenix and Mesa, and can be ordered by calling 602-279-2323 or visiting the www.maps4u.com website. About Wide World of Maps, Inc.
