MySociety travel-time maps
MySociety is a not-for-profit group that runs several projects. One of them has been mapping travel times in London. they've updated these maps recently to make them interactive. You can map public transport travel times against average cost of houses to find the best places to live (based upon certain work addresses). They also have a map showing where it is faster to cycle rather than take public transport assuming you're heading for teh Department of Transport (There are very few places where public transport is faster).

The 2 Mile Challenge
Clif Bar are having a 2 mile challenge. As 40% of motor journeys in the US are less than two miles, the challenge is to get out of your car and walk that distance instead. There's even a map, which will help you find, and suggest, facilities within a 2 mile radius of your home. It works for Britain as well. Once I remembered to preface it Manchester so that I didn't get a result on a motorway, it managed to get close to casa Spinneyhead.Technorati tag: Cycling
