There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

City and regional planners want to know where Atlantans ride their bicycles, so they know where to put bike lanes, traffic calmers, wide shoulders and separated trails. But they also want to know what streets the cyclists are avoiding, yet should be using, in order to make those streets more bike friendly. Cycle Atlanta, a new smart phone application created by a pair of Georgia Tech professors, has collected roughly 8,000 bicycle trips to date and continues to track via GPS where cyclists in Atlanta want to go.
