This is the sort of thing that makes me feel 🤢 about European Cyclists Federation
Senza categoria@brad I can't speak for anything outside Europe, but any OSM-based dedicated bike app does a solid job in every European country having, well, cycled in ALL of Europe as part of my work! @notjustbikes @mcc

Senza categoria@brad No, actually no. There are dozens of tools that work better for cycle routing than Google Maps does. And Google Maps doesn't even offer you cycle routing in a bunch of countries, and where it does offer it, it's shit. @notjustbikes @mcc
