Although I have managed to get some routes, the interface is far from intuitive. 
A hint at the bottom of the page in what mode you are would be helpful.

And it is giving me strange routes all over.
- my house-work route, when calculated with a bicycle, comes back with a 36.3 km 
route in "fasted" mode and a 28.3 km route in "shortesd" mode. 8 km difference 
is not something you'll be faster with on a bike.

In fasted mode I also see strange detours that make the road longer and 
definitely not faster.
Try for instance a route from "Burgemeester Janssenring, Panningen, Stogger, 
Peel en Maas, 5981CL, Limburg, Nederland" to "Loosteeg, Panningen, Loo, Peel en 
Maas, 5981CL, Limburg, Nederland" by bicycle, fasted method, and try to explain 
why it takes the detour via "Veldwachterstraat".

I have checked the OSM data there. AFAIK there is nothing wrong.
