Google Maps has a neat feature that will help you find driving directions or more notably public transit directions. It works quite well, but what if you don’t like either option?
Some people have started a petition to Google to include the feature to get “bike there” directions, and we think it’s a good idea.
Does Google listen to petitions like this? We don’t know but Google likes to be green and likes to “Do No Evil”, so getting it on their radar couldn’t hurt.

Nice idea…until Google gets sued for recommending an unsafe route when a bicyclist gets run over by a truck.
If only there was some way that Google could make it so that they couldn’t be held liable or legally responsible for any kind of damages that result from the use of or inability to use their site.
Perhaps they could have a “fly there in your 757″ option for Larry and Sergey.
Half of the fun of biking/walking to some place is exploration and figuring out the fastest route yourself! This often takes a while, and may involve stealthing through someone’s backyard, but hey, it’s efficient!
