Google Maps…for bikes!

As the snow melts away, one can’t help but daydream about bicycle rides up and down the coast. Google Maps just made your bicycle trip that much easier with Google Maps bike routes. Available in New York, Minneapolis, San Francisco and Portland, Oregon. Google undertook the project after receiving a petition signed by 50,000 bike enthusiasts. The best news? Google’s bike routes take you around – not up – hills.
