The Road Bike and Off-Road Bike options attempt to calculate routes that are most suited to these types of bikes.

Road Bike - avoids the busiest roads and any routes that are known to have unpaved surfaces (also tries to avoid routes where the type of surface isn't known)





- avoids the busiest roads and any routes that are known to have unpaved surfaces (also tries to avoid routes where the type of surface isn't known) Off-Road Bike - favours more minor roads and off-road routes

Both options will also avoid all motorways, highways and trunk roads. They are by nature more restrictive than the standard By Bike option, so you may need to turn them off if you find that you can't auto-plot a route to your next point.

Routing with both of these options is carried out using map data from OpenStreetMap (OSM), so they are best used in conjunction with OSM Map Types. Their effectiveness will depend on the availability of surface and cycling access data in your local area. If you would like to help improve the map data in your area, please take a look at our How-To Guide.

These are BETA features, so please use them with caution as they're experimental and may still contain bugs.

It may sometimes be necessary to dismount from your bike. Please observe local laws regarding right of way.
