By America's standards, potential access by bike is great around here

In these maps of our area, blue represents access to grocery stores (left) and elementary schools (right) by riding bicycles less than 5 minutes.

A cool mapping website, Close, lets you look at your area to see how accessible various destinations are by walking, bicycling, or transit. You can choose from 31 different destinations: supermarkets, schools, gyms, pharmacies, bookstores, dentists, coffee shops, parks, transit stops, and more. Color codes let you know what areas are within 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, or more minutes of travel to destinations of your choosing. For instance, you can find out how quickly you could get to a grocery store from where you live. In the inner East Bay, much is within 5 or 10 minutes by bicycle. That doesn't mean that we live in paradise. Streets can be made safer and bike parking much more available. But the potential, if we choose to pursue it, is great for nonautomobile access to desirable and necessary destinations.
