Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

You can now use cycle.travel/map to find an enjoyable, safe bike route between any two places in North America – whether you’re just riding one mile across town, or planning the coast-to-coast expedition of a lifetime.

We’ve taken our UK and Western Europe route-planner, and spent months customising and upgrading it for the US and Canada. When you ask cycle.travel for a route, it uses all these factors, and more, to find your ideal journey:

dedicated bike paths
on-road bike lanes
signposted bike routes
motor traffic levels
surface quality
elevation (hills!)
minimising turns

The route is fully draggable – so you can go via anywhere you want. And once you’ve planned your route, you can check out the elevation profile, download it for use on a GPS or smartphone, or print turn-by-turn directions.
