    Err you might need to be a bit more specific about what you are looking for? But here are a couple.

    Google maps can attempt to plot a cycling route for you.

    I don't know how the logic works though, probably just the shortest route including cycle paths it knows about.

    If you know a better route than the one google maps gives you then you can tell them and they'll change it.

    If you are looking for one that will route using cycle paths etc. then www.cyclestreets.net is pretty good. I set it to 'quiet' and it prefers cycle paths and B-Roads etc.

    Hmmm - they all seem to want to take me through town. I love the leisurely pace though - 100 minutes to get to work - on a good day, it takes me half that

    You.
    The OP is the Original Poster (whoever started the thread) or it refers to the Original Post (the first post in the thread).

    Got a funny feeling I know what the next question will be.
