Closing Bell: Google Bike Routes

Streetsblog ran a post yesterday pointing to a Google blog post that suggests bike routes and directions will be coming to Google maps some day. Right now, Streetsblog says, New Yorkers can use the site Ride the City for bike directions, but the options for most cities in the nation are slim. And in case Google needs more encouragement, Streetsblog directs us to an online petition for Google to add bike trip tools, which already has over 50,000 signatures

every street is a bike route. every sidewalk is a bike route.

not every street has a bike lane. people need to STOP biking on sidewalks and against traffic. its dangerous for everyone including the cyclists themselves.

Other than limited-acces highways and parkways, every street in the city is a bike route. Sidewalks aren't good for biking - pedestrians are too damn unpredictable.

Cellphones while riding bikes on the sidewalk is also popular.
