I’m an avid cyclist, and primarily try to improve alignment, tagging, and routability of roads and paths throughout Southern Ontario.
For the last several years I’ve been obsessed with riding every part of every bike-accessible way in Toronto, and in August 2026 I completed my goal of riding every street in Toronto (and 99% of the trails). Along the way I’ve added many surface tags, missing paths, helped to align tons of roads and paths, and added many missing POIs. Local news covered the completion of my project:
- CBC Radio post on YouTube
- Full CBC Radio interview
- CTV News article
- Canadian Cycling Magazine article
- Toronto Today article
- Reddit Q&A
I often edit using an iPhone app called “Go Map!!” as I explore. I hope my edits help others get around and enjoy this wonderful city.
