Bicycles Etc.

Finding a bicycle route to work, school or another destination can sometimes require several trial rides until you find the safest route. Google has added bicycle routes to Google Maps which may help take some of the guess work out of creating a safe commute. In fact, I tested my route that I have used for over two years against Google and found they are almost identical. Google's route is a bit safer than my usual route by crossing two major roads at light-controlled intersections instead of partially sign-controlled intersections. I still prefer my route, but will likely use Google Maps to test other routes i the future. Try it out below and see what you think or visit http://maps.google.com/biking to try it out.
