        Yeah, I think the problem here is a lack of distinction between different types of bike paths. All things considered it could have been a lot worse than this.

          Personally I would expect a road bike to be usable on 100% of paths on a maps suggested route. I would really like something that could look at my strava history and make suggestions for other routes or trails to try, though.

            Despite it clearly being called a “road” bike you expect it to be usable on all paths?

            I mean I’d be with you if by path you mean pavement or bikepath but there are an awful lot of paths that don’t meet that criteria. If you want to be able to do all paths, buy a gravel bike at the very least.

            I was under the impression OP looked at something like Google reviews on Maps and this isn’t a suggested route to get somewhere.

            I drive a vintage corvette and think google maps should map zero gravel or dirt roads because I dont want my paint chipped. Google should only map paved roads because of what I drive. Sounds ridiculous yea?

      I mean maybe I’m just wired differently but this looks pretty fine for any bike? Water seems to be only about 20cm deep and the ground below is relatively even stones. And on the other side, the path goes up fine.
