Thursday Afternoon Diversion: GPS Coolness

For five years, one bike rider tracked his movements via GPS as he rode all over Toronto. The resulting map is like an etch-a-sketch of awesome. Now we're waiting for someone to do this with Chicago.

I tried this last summer.

I posted a screenshot of my results on my Flickr:

It looks ridiculous - I'll have to look into how the Torontonian created their GPS coolness.
