That's too bad. I just discovered that around NYC Google Maps will take into account all local bike lanes and route you that way. It's fantastic. I suppose where there isn't much mapped bike infrastucture that would be an issue. Do you map your ride as a Bicyclist on Google Maps and it still takes you on highways and super busy roads?
