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!

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

@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

@watmildon reality is just not so simple. Any lamppost or bridgefence is a place to park a bike here. @dschep

@dosch @dschep I respect the scrappiness!

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

@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
