google adds bike routes to maps

heh - I tried it, home to work, it routes me on impassable class four roads.

Ditto, didn't work for crap.

I guess it kept me off Interstate Highways but thats about it.

Works great in bellingham, uses all the interurban trails!

Holy crap, using it showed me a bike path in town that I didn't even know existed. At first I thought it was trying to make me use a 6 lane divided highway, but sure enough there's a small bike lane running alongside. Pretty cool!

I dig it. So far its been pretty solid on the routes I've mapped out. The first ones I did are routes that I have mapped myself, both times it was pretty dead on to what I had.

We'll see though. I know the area well enough now to know if its trying to send me into a highway or something...

Huh, is there any way we can help google update it? A bike path that they put in a summer or two ago isn't on there...

Mixed results here. Couple pretty good routes from the house downtown but nothing I didn't already know about, the route it shows from the house to the airport is a real good way to get yourself killed.

It tells me my bike commute to work will take 2:45. Obviously it doesn't know what a finely tuned athlete I am. 2:10, tops.

It shows the Greenway from Central Point to Ashland.

It seems to think I am in much better shape than I am. :patsak:
