You..."Just ride Bardstown Rd during rush hour. You can easily keep up with traffic crawling at 4mph. :)" Good point! I feel a bit better now :D<br /><br />I think my neighborhood's crappy Walkscore more or less results from the fact that we have basically no sidewalks and you have to go a mile out of your way to get to places in your backyard (assuming walkscore considers those metrics). The walk score for my entire zipcode is a bit higher, by the way -- it's just the Iroquois Triangle over here that gets the awful score.<br /><br />I do think it would look better (compared to Charlestown) on a Bikescore like you suggested, though -- less in the immediate vicinity, but more within a quick 2- to 5-mile ride range. My neighborhood is way, way more bikeable than it is walkable, especially if you are comfortable riding in traffic (which is hit-or-miss here, but which rarely obeys the posted speed limits).<br /><br />I think the house on William Street got about a 65, and at the time I was miffed about it, heh. Right now, I'd be happy with a 65 ... 83 sounds awesome!Kokorozashihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226186864904149792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348164763700531696.post-15861952640660503232011-08-16T14:43:42.098-04:002011-08-16T14:43:42.098-04:00Just ride Bardstown Rd during rush hour.

My old address in Charlestown got a 32. I guess if there was a bike score with further distance metrics, your neighborhood would look better than Charlestown.<br /><br />My current address in Germantown gets a 65. The Douglass Loop area gets an 83!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
