WARNING - most of the online systems use Google maps : there are lots and lots of errors (roads that exist not being marked, and vice versa ... near here we have a "road" marked that's along a river bed that used to be a ford ... for horses and carts!)
My view is that an investment in a PC Ordnance Survey mapping product (Memory Map has the whole of the UK at 1:50000 for £100 at the moment) would pay dividends in quality, flexibility, up/downloads to GPS gadgets and printing physical maps.

I have not seen cyclestreets before. It looks really good, thanks.

Here for rides.
bikehike. OS mapping and Googlemaps and Opencyclemaps, saveable routes and direct download to GPS.
Best of all possible worlds.

Ride with gps for me.
Also if you use the google maps pull over the orange man and the roads light up blue on the ones they had driven, so only use them.
We have loads of droves round here that are just dirt tracks but show on google maps, they cant be driven, so dont show on the street view.

Another vote for Ride with GPS and their default map. However it does have mapping errors, but no where near as many as Open Street Map or Open Cycle Map have (although they are getting better albeit slowly).
I also use Mapyx Quo (paid for) which uses OS mapping and easily knocks the crap out of anything web based, and Memory Map, Anquet and other standalone consumer PC software.

Ride With GPS for me too. If I'm in new place for the first time and know my OD and I've not got time I'll use cyclestreets but I prefer having the time to use RWGPS, streetview and the ability to route along cycle paths is good and if I download the tcx its really easy to integrate with my garmins.

It's quite handy to devise the route on RideWithGPS, then save the gpx file, and then imprt that file into Mapyx Quo, so you can print off OS maps with your route on. Dead simple and quick.
Incidentally, Quo is a free program, but you pay for the map tiles - which, in the case of the 1:50000 maps are really cheap.
