Lucy's Cycling Treasure Hunt

Sustrans is very excited to announce that finding a safe route to ride your bike is set to be easier than ever as cycling routes are made available on UK Google Maps for the first time.

In a ground-breaking move for cyclists and would-be cyclists, National Cycle Network routes across the UK can now be navigated online using a new bicycle symbol on Google Maps, alongside the options of driving, public transport and walking.

Cyclists can now plan their trips, make use of bike lanes, calculate cycle-friendly routes that avoid big hills and customise the map for cycling on smart phones and computers.

Ah that was awesome! Lovely little story and great visuals. There were very nearly tears ;)

[Lucy Lund]

I'm a fan!



[Jordan Clarke]

Awesome :) love this video

[winterblinkdotcom]

Would be hilarious if they splice in footage of some guy at home correcting the bike routes with Google Map Maker, and her realtime route guidance makes it spell MARTY MO, showing up at the destination totally confused.

I bet he has a fixie bike.

[gratex]

first of all this does nothing to help anyone. secondly half the cycle routes don't show on google maps. good idea, poorly executed and we have a superfluous rom-com video for some unknown reason.

I shall return to my cave.

[Mark E.T. Wilson]

As a guide to finding cycle maps on google, this seems pretty much a waste of time.

I think it's so romantic. Love it :-)

[Ismar Badzic]

It's her boyfriend. He was setting up the treasure hunt to propose and the bits in black and white are flashbacks to when they first met. No stalking involved ha!

[CastleSnowflake]

where did they get married

[jlawton22]
