Yesterday search engine giant Google unveiled online biking directions alongside its existing mapping features, implementing a “Bike There” option to the user’s choice of directions between any two locations.
Shannon Guymon, a product manager for Google, described the functionality this way: “…[W]e wanted to include as much bike trail data as possible, provide efficient routes, allow riders to customize their trip, make use of bike lanes, calculate rider-friendly routes that avoid big hills and customize the look of the map for cycling to encourage folks to hop on their bikes.”
“Bike There” reviews from CNN, The Christian Science Monitor, and the Bicycle Times.
