ZURICH, SWITZERLAND – Swiss cyclists have it easier this summer, with plenty of easy-to-borrow or rent urban bikes, special deals like Valaisroule‘s four hours of free bicycles, and 3D Google Map that show the terrain. Try selecting the bike icon, then 3D for a map that gives you directions from Verbier to Martigny – prepare to fly on that bike!
Google in mid-July added a bicycle icon to its Google Maps directions pages and it also added a potentially rich feature, Map Maker for Bicycles, where you can create your own routes and share them with others, noting which roads are good and which should be avoided. Be sure to watch the tutorial first.
