## Declaration

static var cycling: MKDirectionsTransportType { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this transportation type to request cycling directions between locations. The following example shows a task that requests directions between two locations.   // Bethesda Terrace in Central Park, New York, NY, United States   let origin = MKMapItem(location: .init(latitude: 40.77396, longitude: -73.97097), address: nil)

// Grand Central Terminal, New York, NY, United States   let destination = MKMapItem(location: .init(latitude: 40.7528, longitude: -73.97715), address: nil)

Task {       let request = MKDirections.Request()       request.transportType = .cycling       request.source = origin       request.destination = destination       directions = try? await MKDirections(request: request).calculate()   }
