There is a dismount option for bicycle tagging but not sure how the router
would handle this and would probably still consider the kerb more. Be careful
mapping to routers though tagging should not be adapted to routers but routers
to tagging. Because proper tagging is the base line for all routers but tagging
for a router may only serve one router while breaking others.
