I've just got my bike and I intend to start commuting a very long and busy journey into West London from Surrey.
I've got a phone holder for the handle-bar which will allow me to see my phone whilst cycling, which I'll need as a sat-nav. Currently using Google Maps but is there a better one out there for cycling?
The reason I mentioned the word 'beginner' is because I am not fully confident on the roads yet. I'd rather the app told me when there's a cycle path next to the road it's suggesting I go down as I'd likely choose this for the time being until I feel fully comfortable being on busy main roads during rush hour. I know there will be roads I cannot avoid but if I can specify ahead of time as much of my journey by cycle-paths as possible, it will really help my confidence.
Maybe there is a setting that Google Maps will clearly show you the cycle lanes, if not, are there better GPS downloads for phones out there that are specifically built for cycling and this purpose? Thanks.
