Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Google actively (maybe not so actively) solicits public input for corrections, and suggestion. There's a link when you go to a directions page, asking people to report problems. If you use the link they'll make additions or changes to the map reflecting them (after verification).

They also seem to have a tracking system for those who suggest changes, and with a number of accepted changes seem to raise your credibility standing and respond more quickly.
