If you like plotting your routes with Google Earth you can now import the popular KML route format to your profiles.
In other news, I've added on everyone's profile your carbon offset. This offset is calculated based on how many miles you've recorded here on OFAR and the average fuel usage of the car you would have been driving if you weren't biking. The average fuel usage, which you can update in your Settings page, represents the average miles per gallon (or kilometers per liter) your car consumes.
Carbon offsets represent how much Carbon Dioxide (or greenhouse gases) you have prevented from being released into ozone. Typically you can purchase carbon offsets to offset your Carbon Dioxide usage, but riding your bicycle instead of driving your car is a free way of accomplishing the same goal.

This is awesome. I need to make my offset higher.

Thanks! You'll have to start riding your bicycle more and your car less ; )
