Google made a great addition to their popular Maps function just in time for spring, bike maps!  Wired.com has a wonderful article about the new feature but it is very easy to use.  There is a drop-down menu by the “get directions” area which allows you to change from “by car” to “bicycling” (or walking and public transit). It even gives you a time estimation.  So get out there and enjoy the weather by exploring routes in your area!

If you have already used this feature, let others know what you think in the comments.
