Bicycling is a popular sport with many potential benefits - relaxation, fitness, and entertainment just to name a few. Unfortunately many people struggle with finding good places to ride their bikes. Now Google has updated their map section to include bike trails and bike friendly roads. Simply visit http://maps.google.com and click 'Get Directions' on the left side. Then choose 'Bicycling' from the drop down menu.
After searching your starting and ending location, bike trails appear in 3 different colors.
1. Dark green lanes are bike trails
2. Light green lanes are regular roads with a bike trail on the side
3. And dashed green lines indicate preferred bicycling roads.
Your path can be further customized any way you wish. Google automatically tries to avoid tall hills or busy roads.
