Bike Path

At long last, Google Maps has routes specifically for bikes. Here’s part of the March 10th article from Wired:

“With the click of a mouse, the new feature allows you to plot the best (and flattest!) ride from Point A to Point B. Several cities, including New York, Minneapolis, San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, have bike-specific mapping sites. But Google is rolling it out in 150 cities nationwide and announcing it Wednesday at the 10th Annual Bike Summit in Washington, D.C.”

Totally awesome.

Here’s the bike map for Portland, Oregon.  If you click on the More tab in the upper right you’ll see that only what’s checked is highlighted on the map–in this case, bicycling.
