Cycle the Underground,overground,wombling free,making a tube map for a poster for me

Love the riding blue feet, looks like a satisfactory endevour.

Its all still a work in progress but other things I've been thinking I'll try and do:

• I've also kept GPS tracks of all the rides since I started this, so the rides from my house and back and from line to line. I'd like to be able to overlay the connecting rides on the map, or have a seperarte color for them. This will also help show the exact total mileage.

• I want a proper curvy river Thames not the blocky one like the tube map. And I want it to be blue, yeah I know for realism it should be brown but I'm taking artistic licence on this one.

• I'd like each station written in. I don't think I can bring myself to use comic sans, but I'd like the text to be a bit random and messy. So maybe some stations names have bigger fonts than others, with the odd letter at wonky angles. I'd quite like some text bunched up and others in the burbs more spread out. I'd also really like some names written around some geographical features like roads or other features. This map is going to look much messier than the real one so I'd like the text to be similarly shambolic.

-Rather than have a key with all the lines listed, I'd like to write the name of the lines at various points along the coloured trace.

• As there is no line key I'd like to have a section on the side somewhere with some overview stats like total mileage, time taken, list of punctures/mechanicals etc. I did think of including all the food and drink I'd had on route but that may be overdoing it.

• I'd like this threads web address to be on it somewhere.

• I think the DLR and Overground on the same line as the Underground lines may seem a bit too busy ,so I may do them seperately, but will overlay them all on one to see what it looks like.

-For the stations with interchanges for other lines, instead of the just a black rimmed white circle of the original map I'd like bicycle wheels. No spoks as I don't own one, just plain old normal 32 spokes or something, but I guess as they're not loading bearing I can get away with a low spoke count.....

Any other ideas?

Do you have any ideas of how you are going to make this map? I'll have a look at home because I think I've got a vector file of the River Thames in full, I'll check this evening. If I do it would be in DWG format, although this is convertible to other formats....anyway I'll let you know.

.......Or you could do a hand drawing on trace/velum over scaled and printed route .gpx files and scan it in for reproduction......and in fact this would be more in keeping with the process you can used of hand written route notes and such.
