Google Maps added a cool new feature just in time for summer: you can now get directions for bike trips around US cities. Unfortunately, this feature has yet to come to Canada, but once it does I’ll be an avid user. The coolest part is that Google maps will show you which roads are perfect for biking (trails without motor vehicles), good for biking (roads with bike lanes), and which are recommended for biking (regular roads, but still bike-friendly).

This video explains it all:

    I was just thinking about this idea this morning. I’m an avid mountain biker and was thinking that it would be cool to search for local trails via Google Maps. Hiking trails would also be cool!
