A few months back I mentioned Via Michelin as a route planner with a cyclist option – I ran a few tests and it seemed to manage a fairly respectable job.

Here’s another one, and it claims to do a bit more.  It’s from Transport Direct and covers quite a few towns and cities including Greater Manchester.

This one includes options for quietest and quickest routes, a gradient profile to spot those steep climbs (something that’s caught me out a few times) and something called a GPX file (apparently for loading onto GPS devices).
