maybe you missed NOP's contribution in one of the parallel threads, so again: your point of view is bike-focused, so you think every way or path suitable for cycling should be tagged a cycleway. That was the way things were done in the beginning (some years ago), but it led to some problems why in densely mapped areas people began to reflect about it and decided to use some "neutral" and objective criteria: legal designation. That's for the database side. Still on the consumer side (e.g. rendered maps) you could make this bike-focused map (without contaminating the data) simply by rendering everything suitable for cycling just the same as a legal cycleway. cheers, Martin
