Google Maps now has Bike route filter

Tired of going out for a ride and running into a gigantic grade? Want to discover a new bike path to avoid all the cars? Well now google features a by "bicycling" filter in Google Maps.

But as with most things, it will get better over time. So check it out, and if you come upon an unsafe street report it. Also it can be fun to race the average time to your destination.
