My commute is about to increase by half next year when the company moves buildings. New route looks to be a real b-road affair.
Anyone point me to online route planning for road cycling? ie. so I can put A and B and it’ll give me the shortest route. (Tried a few Google results and they’re crap)

bikeroutetoaster. Use the OSM date and select bike as the means of transport.

That’s the stuff. Cheers.

Might not be the safest 🙄

I was playing with this one this morning (that have an iPhone app which uses the server technology)

Will connect up busy road with B roads and cycle paths. Seems pretty good

http://www.cyclestreets.net is worth a try.

Huh?

Yeah, tried that Cyclestreets one and it said it would take me 1hr 58! It’s only about 15-18 miles! (I know you can change the speed, but it’s routes were just silly)

Cyclestreets uses open street map so there’s a huge variation in quality depending on where you are in the country

transportdirect have one, think it even uses bike paths that aren’t roads.

I do hope Trekster comes and explains his post. 😕
