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 old to get to friends house" to "get me there the fastest no matter the traffic" and "find me an challenging route that is mostly off-road so I can get a great workout" and anything in between.   The community of needs is vast.

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 it's a cycle friendly road or not although I too avoid highways with a speed limit above 40 km/h.
