Tried it today around London. It's... exciting.
The directions are announced a little late - you get no warning, so as you're passing a junction you'll get told to turn left. It's also rather keen to replan a route the moment you go off-track, which initially I found annoying but I think it's better than the alternative.
If they can get the announcements a little more in advance, it will be pretty awesome. The routes cyclestreets come up with are maybe a bit too optimal, being a bit too twisty without factoring in the time it takes to turn across traffic etc, but it does give it that rat-run feel and the routes it came up with were a lot of fun.
