The story

About Find Green Lanes

I'm Dan Bailey from Christchurch. After 12 years away from biking I bought a Himalayan 450 — and immediately went looking for byways to ride. I searched and searched the internet, and even when I did track a few down, actually navigating to them was a pain.

So Find Green Lanes was born. Now I can pick a byway, hit Navigate, and I'm taken straight to it in Google Maps. From there it grew into something more social — interactions between users, photos, messaging and much more.

It's early days, but it's coming together nicely.
