   I have posted some routes on the website but can't work out how to tell someone else how to find 'my' routes. I don't see a place to search on 'contributor'. Is this possible?

   This is one of those things that's simple once you see it. Look at your list of routes and see your name on each one. Click on your name and the URL generated will look like: http://www.bikely.com/listpaths/by/alanm (This one has my name at the end). This is the simple URL to share with others so they can see all your routes. Alternatively, if they know your Bikely userid, they can do a "find" on your userid.

   Unfortunately I didn't appreciate that the use of the ampersand (&) was going to be a problem, so I used it in our userid. Searching on Pat&Mike, thus, doesn't work.
   
   Any suggestions?

   What Alan describes works great, give it a try:

   Scot, you're quite right, but I was hoping to be able to tell people to "look for routes from Pat & Mike". I'm not adverse to changing our user name, but at the moment when anyone hovers over our name on a list of routes in a given area (where we have a route), they don't get the option of looking at other routes by this contributor, as they do for other names on the list.
   I've not been successful in finding out how to do that, other than starting all over again!

   Pat & Mike,
   Another possible solution for you would be to direct people into this forum. Ask them to click on the 3rd tab up top "Search". Pick the "users" search option. Search for Pat&Mike. That will lead them to your forum account profile. Add the http://www.bikely.com/listpaths/by/Pat&Mike
   to the last section in your profile and label it Pat & Mike's Routes.
   
   Click on the Scot_Gore at the top of this message to get an idea of what I mean.
   
   To give credit where credit is due, I stole this idea from Kevin Pfeiffer.
