Common Space- a new way to Navigate around Philadelphia

We have all used Google maps with the bicycle option, but CommonSpace takes mapping and planning an adventure to the next level. Plotting out approximate range one would travel within a time frame either biking, walking or public transit, and welcomes you to discover new places.
It could make for a nice spontaneous date, or just something fun for friends to do, and it tries to promote local business, and the use of alternative transportation(read, no car option). It would be great to have as a smartphone application. . .

They are currently running a survey and one could win $100 gift certificate just for participating.

Their informational release-

The Sustainable Business Network, Azavea, William Penn Foundation, and nPower launched the pilot phase of CommonSpace in August, it will last until October 31. CommonSpace is Philly’s new way to discover neighborhood destinations near you and your friends. The CommonSpace website enables you to specify how long you are willing to bike, walk, or take public transit, and the types of events or venues you wish to visit. Using this information, the site creates a personal or group geospacial “transit shed” within which local neighborhood venues, events and restaurants are highlighted.

Visit CommonSpace at http://commonspace.us/ and you can provide feedback through our online survey or by clicking the feedback tab. As an incentive, we've added a contest: those who complete the online survey by October 31st will be entered to win a $100 gift card to a Philadelphia restaurant, including White Dog Cafe; Picnic; Earth, Bread and Brewery; and Mugshots Coffeehouse and Café.

Beauty and bicycling, in the UK

"This is an 8 minute version of our 55 minute documentary Beauty and the Bike. The film follows two groups of young women from Darlington and Bremen. Between them, they discover what makes - and stops - teenage girls from cycling. The answer? "It's the Infrastructure, stupid!" The full DVD is available from www.bikebeauty.org"

Bicycle Fashion show- In Philly at the Philadelphia Bike Expo

I know I am really plugging this event in Philadelphia, and it is in Philly and does have some vintage bicycle workshops(on Sturmey Archer hubs, Cinelli bicycles, and seminars on bicycle industry trends).

But it also has a fashion show and everyone should attend. I will be there, and I might say I will be there with bells on....it is the day before halloween. Maybe I will dress up as a bike??
