Google just keeps being awesome. They just recently announced a new service that provides biking directions for those who don’t rely on an automobile.

If you’re looking into riding your bike more often Google Maps is now your friend. When you choose biking directions form Google Maps the appearance of the map changes: dark green lines represent roads with no motor vehicles, light green lines represent streets with bike lanes, and dashed green lines show other streets recommended for cyclists.

Google Maps will automatically suggest routes that are not too steep and more suitable for biking.

It is not on Andorid/mobile devices just yet… but coming.

Thank you Google for helping those with a smaller carbon foot print.
