Google Maps will now show you directions using rented bikes from docked-bike share schemes. It works in giving us the directions to the near dock, to our place. It will give you cycling direction from one dock to another dock, after that to your destination.

This new feature in Google maps comes in this Pandemic situation, cause everyone needs to maintain social distance between them. Where ever they go they need to maintain social distance, to keep them away from COVID-19. As environmentally friendly and citizens also need to maintain social distancing, this new functionality comes in place.
