The bright minds of Google have done it again. This time helping people plan trips that do not involve automobiles. Google recently launched their bike directions applications to over 150 cities in the US. Along with turn-by-turn directions, users can utilize the already existing features of Google maps to preview bike paths/lanes, preview their route and even look for local bike shops.
The directions presented by Google's new application are very detailed, and tailored to bikers. The application even takes slopes of roadways into consideration when formulating the most efficient paths for bikers. One can now get directions to their destination by Car, Mass Transit, Walking and riding a bike through Google Maps.
For more information on this program, visit googlemapsbikethere.org or Google "bike there".
