CycleStreets is a journey planner for bicycles - with options between from Quietest to Fastest. It was better in the past - when set to """"""""""""""""Balanced"""""""""""""""" it used to avoid busy roads  and LiveRide used to give verbal instructions. Now it favours Terrible Trunk roads  Awful A roads (e.g. A15  A287)  and Busy B roads (e.g. B3400)  and Rowdy Roundabouts (especially if they join busy roads). I don't find these routes particularly enjoyable. I think the problem is that it considers a 50 mph (reduced visibility) B road to be quieter than a National Speed Limit quiet country road. Finally  LiveRide is completely silent. I tend to use Locus Pro now  as it can speak to me.""
