title: How to turn off the Bicycling layer after it gets turned on by the DirectionsRenderer
body: <p>In <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/layers" rel="nofollow">the documentation on Layers in the Google Maps API</a>, the following is stated:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The Bicycling layer object renders a layer of bike paths and/or bicycle-specific overlays into a common layer. This layer is returned by default within the DirectionsRenderer when requesting directions of travel mode BICYCLING.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How would one turn off this Bicycling Layer after it got turned on by the DirectionsRenderer? I do want to show the biking route, but don't want all the green lines of the Bicycling Layer mess up the clarity of the map.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to 'get' the current Bicycling Layer, and turn it off/unbind it from the map that way?</p>
