Google is announcing at the Opening Plenary Session at the National Bike Summit <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103167038569&s=525&e=001pYbKTip6NGXjLW-9rUimGNoYI_DSUEwU5ZCUxLtwNQTn2Yvu2vLnqiobqSrD8EwYe7yrPhB3Yj98mwkZRWTC7CBDYW1rcYfbEVm5w6z9iSf2zT2imaKBrV1SkTmQWxQf5C8f1qjyodZG5_SujMVURLg31K1iK51v>that they are adding biking directions in the U.S. to Google Maps."This new tool will open people's eyes to the possibility and practicality of hopping on a bike and riding," said Andy Clarke, President of the League of American Bicyclists. "We know people want to ride more, and we know it's good for people and communities when they do ride more - this makes it possible. It is a game-changer, especially for those short trips that are the most polluting," Users can now choose biking when deciding how to get to their destination, starting today, March 10, 2010. If you're one of the 57 million Americans who ride a bike, mapping your daily commute, and planning recreational or trail rides just became easier. According to Google this has been the most requested addition to Google Maps, and the League is delighted that they have chosen the National Bike Summit to unveil this new feature. Google's announcement further proves the importance of the Summit and the bicycle movement in helping our nation become a more Bicycle Friendly America<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103167038569&s=525&e=001pYbKTip6NGXuIZpLWiG3X8Le3SCrWyC4rnhS-odeLkdgOIOzOdub7Gj_p3ifHSUdfavanxx-asPtEeLyZI0xQXEW6cf_hrKir7M-gW94joHVYY-WODZX9Po4el3dno75rjES4DRnoUttU6l4MgpoQrhbXRTeE0rW>. The Google biking directions will make it that much easier for bicyclists to get to work, school or play. This new feature includes: step-by-step bicycling directions; bike trails outlined directly on the map; and a new "Bicycling" layer that indicates bike trails, bike lanes, and bike-friendly roads. The directions feature provides step-by-step, bike-specific routing suggestions - similar to the directions provided by our driving, walking, or public transit modes. Simply enter a start point and destination and select "Bicycling" from the drop-down menu. You will receive a route that is optimized for cycling, taking advantage of bike trails, bike lanes, and bike-friendly streets and avoiding hilly terrain whenever possible.
