Google has finally expanded the directions options to include bicycling, walking and public transport.

There is also a new Bicycling layer (under the More option) that indicates bike trails, bike lanes, and bike-friendly roads.

Nice, but some of the data is outdated. I know Rick Gersony has been pushing google for awhile.

I used to bike around the arboretum: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=38.017229,-84.503274&spn=0.024783,0.034504&t=h&z=15&lci=bike
