Since Google Maps started the Cycling feature, I've reported several issues about the cycling routes they choose. One problem report I files was about the little cut-through that everyone takes to get from a freeway service road over to another street that crosses a train track. Not only do they now allow cycling traffic through that little path, they've marked it as a bike path now (in bright green):

There it is, The Doohickie Cut-Through (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=fort+worth,+tx&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hl=en&hq=&hnear=Fort+Worth,+Tarrant,+Texas&t=h&lci=bike&ll=32.701303,-97.428544&spn=0.001928,0.003449&z=18).
It lies along a popular commuting route, and is just a little north of an entrance to the Trinity Trails MUP (which you can see if you zoom out a little and follow the access road south).
