I think;
Those who bicycle know why there needs to be these classes.
Those who don't ride a bicycle regularly see no need for these classes.

For those that see no need for these classes .. what harm will they do to the data base?

I am ignoring the 'verification' argument for the time being.

P.S. I personally see no need to specify how a power line is attached to a pole .. others are quite happy to map such detail.  So I have no objection to there mapping, I will never use it nor map it.

I don't see why it's not a type=route route=bicycle. Bicycle routes do not have to be exclusive or any particular type of road, just signposted as a bicycle route. You can tag extra attributes of course.

Best, Peter Elderson

    Yes - with my cycle.travel <http://cycle.travel> hat on, I'd find
    this very useful. Just an
    optional route_type= tag on the relation would help.

    I've mentioned on here a couple of times before [1] that there's a
    road bike
    route in North Wales that is particularly problematic: it's
    signposted as a
    bike route, but whereas other routes in the UK are for utility or
    touring
    purposes, this one is specifically for road bike training and is
    wholly
    unsuitable for all other purposes. (Almost all of its route is
    highway=trunk
    or highway=primary with no cycling provision whatsoever.) Although
    it's a
    signposted bike route and as such merits mapping, it is no more
    akin to a
    standard route=bicycle than a stretch of mountain bike singletrack is.

    cheers
    Richard
