Subject: [Talk-us] Another plug for OSM by Adventure Cycling Association

A nice announcement recently went out by Adventure Cycling Association (ACA) that they are "partnering" with OSM to display us on their web page.  Well, Andy Allan's Cycle Map layer, really.

Please see:

ACA appears to be much more actively (and "loudly!") promulgating the United States Bicycle Route System (USBRS) in a stronger way recently, as the USBRS has enjoyed a real growth spurt in the last few years and will likely continue to do so in the future.  OSM's Cycle Map layer (OpenCycleMap, or OCM) spent the last year fervently "catching up" to more accurately reflect this, and we now have an active, vibrant project (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_U.S._Bicycle_Route_System#Proposed_USBRs_in_OSM
) that is clearly synergetic for both organizations (ACA and OSM).

ACA is the premier nationwide bicycling organization in the USA, and is spearheading efforts to develop the USBRS among states and state departments of transportation.
