Best of all, Map My Ride (www.mapmyride.com) uses the Google maps
engine, and the "follow roads" function works pretty darn well with
the new bike paths.
Happy day.

I noticed the same thing earlier this week. It isn't everywhere yet.
I checked the Katy trail in Missouri, and while it is listed it isn't
yet route-able. They made a really low key announcement about it on
the 13th. http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2009/10/your-world-
your-map.html
I think Google has at least one hard core biker in their midst,
perhaps he's pushing for it?

I was looking for an address, and noticed that bike trails appear to
have been added to Google Maps. Not sure how long they've been there,
but it's fairly new, 'cause they were on the maps earlier this
summer.
So far I've only checked two places (Madison and
Tremplealeau/Onalaska) in Wisconsin, so I'm not sure about other
states.
Excellent addition!
