That definitely correspond to what bikers call "singles": a very small track, where two bikes cannot pass side by side.</p><br></div></blockquote></div>Even if the wiki is not definitive about the use of that tag (mostly because of national specifics), most if not all the pictures refers to ways in <u>urbanized places</u> where the attention has been put on pedestrian mobility.
