Coming & Going: Violent crime is up in the Bahamas

Google has partnered with D.C.-based nonprofit Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC) to offer the feature, which allows users to type in their destination and get directions for the best bicycling route. CoGo, for instance, was pleased to find out that it would take just 10 minutes to bike from the heart of Adams Morgan to downtown Washington.

Google has already been offering this service to drivers, walkers and transit riders. Now Google users in all 50 states will have access to RTC's database of more than 1,600 rail-trails and connecting corridors for free. RTC has been offering its trail maps gratis on TrailLink.com, where demand has grown in the past year.

"Bikers all over the country now will be able to explore new trails or find specific directions in their local community with just a few clicks of their mouse," Shannon Guymon, product manager for Google Maps, said in a statement.

Travelers weigh in

What are travelers' biggest gripes these days? Limited legroom on planes and fees for checked baggage and other in-flight services, according to TripAdvisor's second annual air travel survey.

The survey of 3,200 U.S. respondents revealed some other interesting traveler sentiments. Sorry, Kevin Smith, but 74 percent said they think that travelers of size should pay for two seats on their flights. (Actor-director Smith waged a Twitter campaign against Southwest Airlines after he was forced off a flight for being too big to fit comfortably in a single seat. Southwest later apologized.)

Thirty percent said that they would be more likely to book a ticket on a flight offering WiFi. Some travelers -- 45 percent -- said they want Internet access so badly that they would put up with a seatmate accessing inappropriate content. Another 27 percent, however, said that they would alert a flight attendant and 22 percent would ask their seatmate to shut down any lewd sites.

And what of those controversial full body scanners that can see through your clothing? Seventy-nine percent had no problem with them.
