I expect routing to become more prevalent in the OSM world thanks to the fantastic http://project-osrm.org/ project.

That's surprisingly good. As in; for a complex route across London and factoring in one-way streets it produces something that looks realistic.

Only allowed me to pick car as a mode of transport, and unrealistically suggested I could get across 14KM of central London in 14 mins, but ignoring those things this is very nice.

Would love to see the path output of this added to Leaflet and a standard form of API emerge for Mapbox, Cloudmade, Google Maps, etc.

I believe that other transport modes (public transport, on foot) are in the pipeline, but the amount of additional compute power they need is significant

Also Public Transport route and connectivity information is frequently a bit patchy in OSM, but this is steadily improving.

I, ahem, might be working on a UK cycling router using OSRM ;)

You probably want to be talking to me... I run http://www.lfgss.com and am building community software to run cycling forums.

Email in my profile... that is, if you think we're your market.

Have you seen CycleStreets: http://www.cyclestreets.net/

[Doctor_Fegg]

Yep. It's great. This one will aim at a different market, really.

Interesting. What other market is there though? They do different confidences of cyclists and leisure routes already?

I used OSRM a while back for a longish car trip. Worked great.

Adding public transport, cycling etc. would be fantastic.

You should look into OpenTripPlanner by OpenPlans, they have built a multi-modal routing engine that can account for GTFS public data feeds as well as combining walking/cycling/public transit together to for a single route.
