[OSM-talk] cycle.travel's OSM bike routing now covers Scandinavia and Eastern Europe

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

It is a good news.

Still it is only a part of Eastern Europe. Here is an article with the 
map of Eastern Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Europe

I was recently in the town of Izmail, Ukraine. Thee are quite a few 
cycling venues there. For example this new park on the shore of the 
Danube river:

Cycling is allowed in the parks there. Local population is using 
bicycles quite a lot; in fact I was surprised by it. There are bicycle 
parking amenities even near the temples; it is possible to see a bicycle 
parking near the Izmail cathedral and a bicycle on it on this image 
after zooming in:

I mapped some bicycle parkings, but come to think of it next time I will 
map them all.

Best regards,
Oleksiy
