Looks like ridethecity added support for SF

No routing options available, just gives a single route.

Anybody tried out their directions?

Actually, on further inspection, I think this is unrelated to
ridethecity, and is instead the planner made by someone else on this
list :)

Looks like it's just using the google maps API for "shortest driving distance".   Can't even get me from the Mission to the Haight through the wiggle. 

IOW, useless.

It's not using the google API for "shortest driving distance".

From the about page (http://ridesf.com/about):

"The site backend is powered by Postgres with the PostGIS extension and the routing is found with the pgRouting extension. A small C cgi app returns the path in a variety of formats (GPX, KML, JML, WKT, & JSON). The data for the bike lanes is a combined version of data from the CA MTC and Tiger Line Data from the US Census. The route is displayed using the Google Maps API."

It is mostly useless right now since I don't have a conflated data set that includes bike lanes and non bike lanes. It really is just a work in progress/hobby.

Ahh, thanks for the clarification.   That is definitely a step up from the standard "shortest driving distance".
