Cool bicycle commuting challenge

Clif Bar is challenging folks to rethink how many of their trips could be done by bike... the call it the 2-mile Challenge:

The 2-mile radius mapping is an especially cool feature... I noticed some stores in my radius that no longer exist, so call first. But otherwise, what a cool tool!

Yeah, that thing is WAY off. It didn't list ANY restaurants/bars within my radius, when there are probably at least 50. It also only listed check cashing and business financial services companies and none of the 10 or so banks I know are within the circle.

I like the circle generation tool for showing me where the 2-mile radius is, but I'll take my own knowledge of my 'hood over it for business info any day. :)

so it seems to me that alot of the current rage is over inter-city commuting and conservation, but what about the small town commuters doing it evry day? not that im looking for recognition or anything but having to deal with combines and semis adds a whole new element to it all. the looks i get some times are priceless
