This is one I have been waiting for. Biking directions have been added to Google maps.
Right now they are covering 150 cities, so most likely yours is in there. To get an overview of good bike routes, put the name of your city in the top search box at http://maps.google.com/biking. Richmond, Long Beach, Minneapolis, and Rancho Cucamonga all have been mapped. You can see color-coded streets that show which ones are best for two wheel travel. When you want to plot a route, just use the Get Directions option to set the drop-down menu to bicycling. (Other options are by car, walking, or public transit.) Google has a little video to help you get started.
