Joined: 18 May 2009 Posts: 4 Bike: | I was just wondering, do any of the internet route planners (AA, multimap etc) include a feature for planning cycle routes? I often use my bike for work, usually in combination with the train, trying to get to out of the way places, and it would be so useful to be able to plug in a postcode and get a recommended cycle route, perhaps even with estimated times. Anyone know of anything like this? Thanks! |

Joined: 23 Aug 2009 Posts: 1 Bike: | I have a similar question. I have done a fiar bit of hill walking, is there an equivalent to naismiths rule for cycling? It is a rule that accounts for additional time taken on a route due to the amount of vertical height climbed? Also are there any sites or excel downloads that will print a route card showing the waypoints evevations and the times taken as you would for a mountain hike? |

I am in Edinburgh and trying to improve my fitness so want to put the planned route and miles and incline into a gym programme so I can final cycle up Broughton Street. I know the word used to be push bike but I dont' think it was meant to be on foot. Traveline Scotland if an excellent website for using public transport but if I remove all forms of transport they will not give the best walking route or cycling route. Liz |

Admittedly it's not all that cheap but I can plan my routes and review the routes I have done. I can also look at the gradient and decide if it's too steep before I set off! Yes I am a wuss; I bloody hate hills! |

Joined: 30 Jun 2012 Posts: 3 Bike: My Profile | Hi, I have gone onto bikeroutetoaster as advised above. It was suggested that I sued google to plot the route, which i have done. But when it come to saving, it will not allow me as my PC does not support file types available? I do not have GPS devices so wanted to just plot the route etc... Help please? |
