Introducing Google Maps for bicyclists

Find out if you're taking the best route to Cal State Long Beach on your bicycle.

Google introduced a new feature, showing bicyclists better, faster routes to get from point A to point B.

The announcement came during the National Bike Summit on March 11.

Now, you can chose four different transportation methods by clicking the arrow on the drop box. The four methods include: car, bike, public transportation and walking.

It's the same model for finding directions in a car, which means it's still just as easy.

According to Google Maps, I could have been saving five minutes on my ride to school.
