Cyclists assemble! No longer do you have to put up with riding into a car-infested deathtrap of a road, as Google has finally rolled out their cycle service to Google Maps users in Europe and Australia.
Users will see see a bicycle icon next to the current car, public transport and walking options, and selecting it brings up a snazzy new overlay that displays the National Cycle Network. Google was assisted by Sustrans, a company that promotes viable transport alternatives (and also produced this cringey video), and helped out with mapping up the Cycle Network. The NCW showcases the UK’s dedicated bicycle lanes and paths, enabling cyclists to get around in a much safer way.
Similar to a few Google products, the service is still in beta, and some paths might not be reflected in the map, therefore feedback is very much appreciated. The service will also work on the mobile app version of Google maps. [Wired.co.uk]

Well I thought the video was really sweet, but then I’m just an old softy.
I also thought it was rather sweet! I wish I proposed in such a creative way!
Obviously it takes a great deal of work, you have to make sure that you have memorable experiences in a large number of places so that when you send your partner out she can spell something out. If your relationship consists of going to her house, your house and the local pub, you aren’t going to get very far with it.
Nice to see the places I once lived appear in a Google video… it appears enough already on the BBC. lol
Excellent news, been waiting ages for this!
Thank you Google, and I know it’s just gonna get better and better.
Love the way it shows available cycling lanes/paths in green. Really puts in perspective how much work remains needs to be done for London to be anywhere near considered bicycle friendly
