Google adds Cycling to Google Maps

Google has added ‘bicycling’ as a method of transport for the Google Maps ‘directions’ feature. It joins the existing, walking, by car and by public transport options as a fourth alternative method of transport.

The only difference I can see that a ‘cycle route’ offers to walking is the estimated time, I am unsure how well mapped out, even if there are any routes designed JUST for a bike.

The feature is still only available for the US map but expect it to be rolled out worldwide in the nest few weeks and months.

Saturday Bike Ride, Visualised

This was recorded using Trails iphone app and then uploaded to Every Trail. Both Fantastic apps which work together seamlessly with hardly any setup or configuration required. The only data they failed to capture was the intensity of the burning sensation in my thighs when i’d finished.
