Google Maps has added bicycling directions

I've just heard that Google Maps has added bicycling directions.


You can now select "Bicycling", as well as the previous options of "By car", "By public transit", or "Walking".

Google Maps is selecting bicycling routes that take advantage of bike lanes, bike trails, and recommended roads...while trying to avoid large hills.


As the weather's getting warmer and the daylight's getting longer, consider taking a bicycle out for a ride and don't forget your helmet. Enjoy!!
