From just about now (time of writing) in the UK, Google Maps has enabled cycling directions, which use Sustrans routes!
This shows the route that I would normally take if I were to commute from Wokingham to Maidenhead (which I don't anymore...)
It uses National Cycle Route 4 at just about the right point on my old commute.
I will try and chart out other routes of interest.
I don't think this will replace dedicated website for cycle touring trips or for dedicated training rides, but it will be very useful for cyclists who want to explore a new area and need a quick route lookup.
Unfortunately, I am wondering what this will mean for iPhone users when iOS 6 will launch without Google Maps support. Will Google Maps directions still work in Safari?
