Google Maps: Your Bike's Best Friend

Are you trying to make a route around town? Or just wondering where to explore your local trails? Google Maps is a great tool to do both of these things! Here is a step - by - step on how to see how Google can change your biking experience!

Find Your Area
Go to Google Maps (https://maps.google.com/) and type in the area you are trying to map out.

Choose Bike
On the Right Side, go to the drop-down menu and select "Bicycling."

Decide Where to Ride
Once "Bicycling" is clicked, watch the map transform. Use the key on the right drop-down menu to follow the bike-friendly roads and trails. From here you can see where would be the most appropriate way to go for your ride!

If you are interested in incorporating this feature in the 'directions' area of Google Maps, it is very similar. Or, if you still have questions on how to find the bike feature, here's a helpful video!

note: the features are the same, but the layout has since changed, so please review the pictures above if there is any confusion.


Now it's really easy to find a fun, safe route, no matter where you are!
