Dear Google…
Facebooker Peter Smith has started to petition to get Google to add a ‘bicycle there’ option to the Google Maps service. 3500+ have signed the petition to date.
The feature would take into account actual bicycle lanes from the locality being mapped, and it would automatically plan a route for a bicyclist, possibly even providing the cyclist options for either the most direct route, or the most bicycle-friendly route.”
This would…
* Make bicycling safer for millions of bicyclists around the world.
* Empower world citizens to better adapt their lifestyles to face the challenges of global climate change.
* Help Google realize its core mission of ‘organizing the world’s information and making it universally accessible and useful.’
