Better than Google?

You know the situation. You've got an address, but wonder what the best route is - when you're riding your bike.

Up until now, the best way was to use GoogleMaps, and click on the 'walking' option. But now there's Cloudmade maps


Just click on Get Directions, select Cycling and then do a right click on your start point, and a right-click on your destination. The map shows you how to get from A to B - literally.


And for those who prefer written directions, that's there too.


Oh, and if you just have an address - and you don't know where it is - there's a Search the Map function. All in all, it seems like a very handy tool for bike riders :)
