I present a map type @dschep and I are calling the Fog Of War On Cars. It will mask of your area that isn't within 50m of bicycle parking as determined by OpenStreetMap data.

Here's what it looks like for Redmond WA, the supposed "Bicycle Capital of the Northwest".

Pan the map to your town an hit run. Let me know if you find anything interesting!

Zooming out a bit, the dark areas are either mountains, parks, rivers, highways or cemetery.

@Judder @dschep I am absolutely obsessed with Ultra and the flexibility it gives us to make and share "live" maps with folks.

Bremen is doing pretty good!

@watmildon This is also super helpful for visualizing places I still need to micromap! Thank you. 🙂

@martin @dschep Love seeing the very regularly spaced dots! 🤩

Presumably some of the darker blobs are... parks?? Time to brush up on my Montreal geography.

Show threadMartin HamelNov 28, 2024
@watmildon @dschep yes. You have Mont-Royal park and the Saint-Laurent River 🙂

This is so neat.
Riga, Latvia, also zoomed into the centre.
Show threadRihards OlupsNov 28, 2024
@watmildon BTW, 0.8 for the "fog" are seems to work pretty well to understand scale/layout.
Here's Riga with 0.8.
Show threadwatmildonNov 28, 2024
@richlv Love that. A balance between conveying the bleakness of lack on infra but still let you orient yourself a bit.

@watmildon @dschep What an awesome project! Here's what I see in Waterloo Region (Ontario, Canada). I've included an unmasked version to help with scale.

Edit to add: We need to do better than this in Waterloo Region!

Here is amsterdam. I guess there are more ways to park your bike, then in a bike-parking...

Show threadwatmildonNov 28, 2024
@dosch @dschep OOO I wonder if there's some more things needing to be captured on OpenStreetMap or some present feature that isn't as simple as amenity=bicycle_parking
Show threadL-)Nov 28, 2024
@watmildon reality is just not so simple. Any lamppost or bridgefence is a place to park a bike here. @dschep
Show threadwatmildonNov 28, 2024

@dosch @dschep I respect the scrappiness!

I freely admit I love to be catered to and pampered.

Show threadL-)Nov 28, 2024
@watmildon maybe reverse the logic; the world is one big bike-park. Just places where cars (and buildings or ponds are) are a problem. Black those out and leave open the rest :-) @dschep

Bad, but more bike parking than expected.
(We often just take car traffic poles or similar to lock our bikes.)
Interesting, thanks for this tool!

@watmildon this is very cool, thanks! In Nice it highlights nicely how in the centre public bike parking is pretty good but at the seafront, railway station and in the old town it is non-existent
