Google Maps must improve if it wants cyclists to use it

Cyclists don't just want the fastest route they want the safest or quietest - and information on bike parking would be a bonus

We all have different ways to navigate when lost - whether asking a stranger for help, consulting an old-school map or simply following our nose.

But on a bike, the stakes are higher. One wrong turn and you're in gridlocked traffic, with two lanes between your bike and the nearest pavement. In this moment, cyclists can be divided into two types: the few who stay calm and embrace getting lost, and the rest of us, who turn to a navigation app.
