Mapping Boston Neighborhoods and other Crowdsourcing GIS News

WAMU has teamed up with Transportation Nation to map all of the abandoned bicycles in D.C., and they need your help. If you happen upon a sad bicycle that's missing some parts and doesn't look like it'll be recovered anytime soon, email a picture to bikes (at) wamu (dot) org and they'll add it to their map.
I guess anyone could look at the map and collect the derelict bikes for their own use.
