There are obviously "deep thoughts" going on regarding how OSM can document and
provide better geo data, routing and maps for Canadian cyclists: my hat is off
to the serious "front-loading" going on here and I wish to encourage it so that
it may flourish.
Simulta
But it doesn't address traffic volumes or speed limits. Should we tag
speed limits?

The SOTM presentation was interesting. Especially the bit about the 5% who
would cycle anyway and these are often the people who are asked about what
should be done to improve things for cyclists. Are we asking the wrong
people?
I think we need to identify what tags would be useful for routing p

Hi John,
After talking to many different folks about what their requirements
are for a cycling map, it is clear to me that the cycling routing
algorithm requires user-configurable tuning parameters. People have
different requirements at different times: from "find a nice path for
a 6 year o

Thanks for the link to that page, Jame
Perhaps what we need is a way to tag cycle friendly streets. Typically
I'll use a mixture of minor side streets and paths when using the trike.
So I'd prefer a routing that used these as much as possible rather than
more major collector roads and you can't always determine from the speed
limit if

Hello talk-ca: I'm resurrecting a month-old thread (about bicycling) as my
initial post here.
I'm a California-based (USA) nearly nine-year veteran of OSM. My wiki user
page at https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/User:Stevea shares some details of my
mapping, including parks and other mostly-natural/le
Hi John,
The Ottawa cycling group is working on a "Level of Traffic Stress" map
which is different than this. This is because, my understanding, is
that the City of Ottawa (for better or worse) uses LTS as their
official way of measuring how they're doing on cycling
infrastructure. If you w
I think the OSM article uses a variety of inputs.

It looks as if some work has been done in Vancouver.
It needs thinking through and combining both OpenStreetMap data and other
sources.

Within weeklyosm there is a article on bikability. I am aware that some
mappers in Ottawa are working with the local cycle groups,could something
be done for Ottawa?
