From the blog, it sounds like it may take hills into account, which is neat.
Unfortunately for me, it can't actually create bike routes where there really aren't any. The shortest path to the close Mexican place for me is on a busy and fast road through the middle of a freeway cloverleaf. Google, can you fix that?
More seriously, to the local coffeeshop it recommends taking the bigger surface street instead of the small winding streets. Hills may play a role in that too. For my comfort factor, I take the side streets with the hills every single time.
