It requires Firefox or Safari......
To do a Virtual Bike Tour for your city first of all you will need
Firefox (a far better browser that you can download here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html ) then you will want to
compile a list of all the sights to see in your city. Number them. On a
separate sheet of paper draw a rough map of your city as a box with
major streets forming the edges. On this "map", plot the numbers you
have assigned to the points of interest. Then connect all of them with a
line (your route). Transfer this information to our map and you have a
virtual tour for your city!
Bonus points for any editorial you can add later about the stops you
will have chosen!
