Mapquest returns silly route for routeType=bicycle

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. specify RoadManager roadManager = new MapQuestRoadManager();
2. add option routeType=bicycle
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A sensible route to the destination
A straight line without markers
What version of the product are you using?
v3.2

Please provide any additional information below.

The straight line from start to end points is the result when the call to 
roadManager.getRoad(waypoints) fails. 
Failure can be technical (with a lot of possible reasons) or functional (no 
route for this start/end)

But your explanation is a little bit short for any analysis. 

Please look to the logcat, and provide the logs (including the request url, 
which is traced in the logcat).

It only fails when routeType=bicycle.is specified. Specifying nothing or 
routeType=fastest work fine so the route exists. OSRMRoadManager also works 
fine. I don't have the logcats but the calls looked as expected and I didn't 
see any obvious rejection of the bicycle parameter.

I just tried, using OSMBonusPackDemo application (with the option menu, it's 
now possible to choose MapQuest/bicycle as the route provider): it worked fine. 

This could be an issue with MapQuest service, on the specific route you ask 
for? Have you tried various routes?

Could you provide the few relevant lines of your code (from constructor to the 
getRoad call) ?

Closed, due to lack of technical details to be able to reproduce/analyze.

Hi, I've the same probleam with thw url 
http://open.mapquestapi.com/guidance/v1/route?from=-8.060834,-34.871809&to=-8.05
7869,-34.888569&outFormat=xml&shapeFormat=cmp&narrativeType=text&unit=k&fishbone
=false&routeType=pedestrian

it returns the rout but a straight line is printed on the map. i'm using this 
code:

    private void showRout() {
        RoadManager roadManager = new MapQuestRoadManager();
        ArrayList<GeoPoint> points = new ArrayList<GeoPoint>();
        points.add(new GeoPoint(-8.060834,-34.871809));
        points.add(new GeoPoint(-8.05787,-34.888569));

        roadManager.addRequestOption("routeType=pedestrian");
        Road road = roadManager.getRoad(points);

        final ArrayList<ExtendedOverlayItem> roadItems = new ArrayList<ExtendedOverlayItem>();
        ItemizedOverlayWithBubble<ExtendedOverlayItem> roadNodes = new ItemizedOverlayWithBubble<ExtendedOverlayItem>(getActivity(), roadItems, mMapView);

        Drawable marker = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.marker_node);
        for (int i=0; i<road.mNodes.size(); i++){
                RoadNode node = road.mNodes.get(i);
                ExtendedOverlayItem nodeMarker = new ExtendedOverlayItem("Step "+i, "", node.mLocation, getActivity());
                nodeMarker.setMarkerHotspot(OverlayItem.HotspotPlace.CENTER);
                nodeMarker.setMarker(marker);
                roadNodes.addItem(nodeMarker);
        }

        mMapView.getOverlays().add(roadNodes);

        PathOverlay roadOverlay = RoadManager.buildRoadOverlay(road, mMapView.getContext());
        mMapView.getOverlays().add(roadOverlay);
    }
