Regular — general purpose cycling. Prefers roads with cycling infrastructure: bike lanes, PCNs, park connectors, and shared paths. Best for commuting and casual rides.
Road — prefers paved roads over cycling infrastructure. Avoids expressways. May still include some PCN if needed for connectivity (shown as PCN % in route stats).
Shortest — modifier that minimizes distance instead of travel time. Can be combined with either profile. Routes will be more direct but may use smaller roads.
