Thought you would like this greasemonkey script (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/23246) I created to add “Bike There” like functionality to Google Maps for Portland, OR. It uses the bycycle.org site for directions (launches a new window for that site). If you are not familiar with Greasemonkey, it is an addon for Firefox (find it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748) which allows you to create hacks on top of existing pages (adding links etc…). The bycycle.org site was created by some local developers (here in Portland) and all my script does is take directions from Google and open a new page in bycycle.org with the directions for bikes. Bycycle.org only works for Portland and Milwaukee and my script only works for Portland.
We'd like to see bike directions on iPhone, too, but that is partially a google thing (the Google Maps app for iPhone) and partially an Apple thing (their own maps).
