Some preferred bike routes to Downtown Ann Arbor

Filed under: Your commute options,biking — Nancy Shore @ 11:09 am

In the spirit of Google Maps now having bike directions I thought I’d create a Google Map with some suggested bike routes to downtown Ann Arbor.  You can view the bike routes here.

Google maps now gives directions by bike!

Filed under: biking,cool tools — Nancy Shore @ 9:52 am

This just in: now when you search for directions in Ann Arbor on Google Maps you can choose to see suggested bike routes!  This is great.

I did see what it might say for my normal bike commute, and it was pretty good.  I come from the West Side and normally bike on Washington, which is the first suggested route it gave me.  However, what Google doesn’t know is that there are some non-motorized paths I take that make the trip a little nicer for me.  Still, it’s really cool that these directions are now available.
