Yes indeed I do ask for a bicycle route. Sometimes it does alright, but other times it does terribly. For example: If there is a pseudo bike lane on a 40mph three-lane road (literally a regular car lane with a bike painted on it for good measure), and a quiet 25mph neighborhood route nearby that's a little bit out of the way, but goes the same way, Google maps will ignore the neighborhood route entirely in favor of the supposedly designated "bike lane" on the perilous and busier road.
