<br>
A discussion in CyclOSM issue tracker [1] spotted that there exists<br>
around 3500 highway=cycleway around the world which have specific<br>
mountain bikes (MTB) tags. In particular, around 800 highway=cycleway<br>
around the world declare a mtb:scale greater than 2, which would make<br>
them impassable without a proper mountain bike. Such cycleways would not<br>
be passable with a regular city bike. One example of such a case is at [2].<br>
<br>
Looking at the wiki page [3],<br>
"the highway=cycleway tag indicates a separate way for the use of cyclists"<br>
which does not mandate explicitly that a cycleway be accessible with any<br>
kind of bikes and should also cover dedicated paths for MTB. However,<br>
the documentation around cycleways and bike features is very oriented<br>
towards city cycling and there is no illustration about MTB-specific<br>
cycleways.<br>
<br>
So, is this considered a valid tagging or should it be represented by<br>
another highway class (path, track, etc)? If this is valid, I propose to<br>
add a statement in the wiki explicitly mentioning that cycleways can be<br>
restricted for specific kinds of bicycles, for future questions.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
