My best guess is it's a busy road so it's dangerous and not really meant for bicycle and walking. I've done 13 miles yesterday to get a comic book on a bike and this right here is the distance between my house and a friend's house I told I can come on bike because what I just did gave me a feeling I could do it but my ass hurts so not right now. But yeah I want to see how this would play out. Before I would walk but I took a bike to a comic book store because it would've closed if I walk and I ended up getting there in time. Took longer than expected something that should've been an hour probably took 2 or 3 hours. So yeah I can do half of that for sure.

    I think it mainly means that Google invests a lot more money in the quality of its navigation for cars than bicycles, meaning that they think it's pretty likely that the cycling directions might lead you into a place where it might not be a good idea to cycle.

      And it's still shit. It reccomends an illegal left turn and I see every day someone that tries to make it.

      Google maps became an ad platform.

        Fortunately no one is forced to use it in a world where OpenStreetMap and apps that use it exist (OSM is exactly as good as volunteers made it).

          I am for work. no other app has Good ETA, traffic, and multi node route planning, decent readable design.

          Waze (owned by google) - no multi node
          OSMand - unreadable design
          organic maps - no good ETA
          mapy.cz - no local traffic
          Magic earth - to be tested
          Circuit - it would be an overkill for my use case
