Definitely take a look at this wiki page for my project:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Safe_Routes_to_School_Mapping_Toolkit

There certainly is some common ground, such as defining safe/fast/easy
biking profiles, and you may be interested in biking distance maps,
like you can see on that wiki page. I gave a presentation on OSM and
this concept to my local biking club:

I hope we can collaborate in some fashion.
