Sorry I'm a little late to thread, but given I live in Portsmouth - well
Southsea :) and I cycle a lot - I've been slowly updating OSM on an ad
hoc basis it over time.
(Actually I'm more interested in footpaths and bridleways...). Anyway if
you can point me to somewhere precise, I can double check things on
the ground.
Remember Bing images are a couple years old and some of the infrastructure *has
definitely* changed around here.
NB1 - I don't go to Gosport very often - it's not on my commute and the ferry
costs money :(
NB2 - Portsmouth CC have relatively recently been putting in single/double
cycle parking ground loops around local shops
NB3 - You've got me to thank for most of the 20mph (and other) speed limits on
the Portsmouth map.
NB4 - This reminds me to add cycle parking for Waitrose, Palmerston Road &
Albert Road that I can remember off the top of my head.
[There must be more near the seafront - but I need to check locations+numbers]
PS1 Nice work on the cycle parking heat map - it's good to spot things missing
(i.e. for NB4 above)
PS2 how often does this get updated?
PS3 It would be even better if one could select the open cycle map as the base
layer.

If at first you don't succeed,
then skydiving isn't for you.
