Thanks for using Cyclopath!

We are sorry to say that we have shut down Cyclopath. We thank you for your support over the years! Cyclopath was not only a resource for the Twin Cities bicycling community, but it was a research platform that facilitated computer science education at the University of Minnesota, and contributed to our scientific understanding of geographical information systems and social computing.
