Probably one of the best tools to plan a ride. It highlights all the best cycle options for a dedicated route. It provides tons of options.

Cyclosm

A website to visalize all the cycle-related datas from OSM. Very cool if you are looking for nice places to ride your bicycle.

OSM Buildings

This website uses the OSM data to generate and render the volume of the buildings. Accuracy depends on available datas from OSM, but it gives a good relative representation of the building size.
