paper maps?

Hi,
I am looking for maps of the Washington DC area bike paths that I may take with me while I am riding. Do these exist? Or can I print them from some internet source? (I do not have portable electronic equipment., i.e. an i-phone, just my old-fashioned computer at my desk) THANKS, Samantha

I recently received the bike map I ordered through WABA….for a whopping $1.00. This thing is great…has the entire DC area, and also a blowup of downtown. Very detailed, very well-done, and lots of little tips and what-not for cycling in the area in general….just a general thumbs-up if you’re thinking of getting a map from them….I also don’t have a GPS for my bike, and while my commute is fairly standard every day, I like to mix it up, and also like to know my options should I have to change my route for any reason on the fly…I just tuck it into my panniers, and I’m good to go.

Years ago, I got (for free) one of the earliest consumer GPS hand-held units, which retailed for $100. A friend asked me all about it, and then said “So basically its a $100 compass?” I said “yeah, basically.”
