Google Maps is making it easier to find a bike ride.
Starting Monday, Google Maps' bicycling directions will list bike-share services as a route option. You'll be able to see the nearest station, where you can drop off the bike near your destination, and how many bicycles are available.
The bike-share listings will start in 10 cities:
Chicago (Divvy/Lyft)
New York City (Citi Bike/Lyft)
San Francisco Bay Area (Bay Wheels/Lyft)
Washington, DC (Capital Bikeshare/Lyft)
London (Santander Cycles/TfL)
Mexico City (Ecobici)
Montreal (BIXI/Lyft)
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil (Bike Itaú)
São Paulo, Brazil (Bike Itaú)
Taipei and New Taipei City, Taiwan (YouBike)
Google Maps will link to some of those apps so you'll be able to book rides more easily.
Interest in biking has blown up since the coronavirus pandemic started. Google has tracked a 69 percent increase in the use of cycling directions in Google Maps since February. Google search interest in "bicycle" was at an all-time high worldwide at the end of May and into June.
Lyft's Citi Bike in NYC is one of the docked-bike services that'll be integrated into Google Maps directions. The easier access to shared bikes comes as the service hit its 100 millionth ride. It's been operating in the city since 2013 and the 1,000th station is supposed to be installed in the Bronx next month.
In April, a Trek Bicycles survey of 1,000 Americans found 85 percent of them viewed cycling as safer than public transportation during the pandemic. Lime, which acquired Uber's Jump e-bikes last month and already shares its e-scooter availability on Google Maps, released recent data that showed people were taking longer and more frequent e-bike rides.

That same Trek survey showed biking will likely stick around: Half of those surveyed said they planned to ride bikes more even after the pandemic ends.
