- jschwartzi 11y agoGoogle maps is not very good at plotting bike routes or at knowing which streets are truly bike-appropriate. I frequently have to adjust any bicycle travel directions I get from them because they list a lot of busy 45 MPH roads with sidewalks as "bicycle friendly." This is in contrast to the multitude of slow residential streets that run to either side of the selected road. In fact, I've had Google Maps recommend that I bicycle downhill on a 50 MPH road because there was a sidewalk on one side. I was able to find a much slower, shallower grade about a mile south of where they wanted to take me. It's awesome if you're in a car though.
