CycleStreets - New UK Cycle Journey Planner System
CycleStreets is a new UK-wide cycle journey planner system, which lets you plan routes from A to B by bike. It is designed by cyclists, for cyclists, and caters for the needs of both confident and less confident cyclists.
This site is currently at a beta testing phase so that cyclists around the country can test out routes and let the developers know about any problems they find on the site.
I've tested the site with a few tricky routes of my own and the results appear to be very promising indeed. This cycle specific, feature rich development is a significant milestone in cycle journey planning and deserves everyones support.
CycleStreets is from CycleStreets Ltd, a not-for-profit limited UK company based in Cambridge.
