Bike 'sat nav' maps the way

A NEW "sat nav" system for bikes is being used by cyclists in the Capital.

The Bike Hub journey planner is available for download as an iPhone app.

It comes after the launch of a route finder allowing cyclists to cut through traffic and find the safest way from A to B.

The website, Cyclestreets.net, allows users to plot two points on a map before being given a suggested route, details of traffic levels and the difficulty of the ride.
