</div>Just route=bicycle, name=National Byway should be enough IMO. I wouldn't<br>
really call the National Byway a network - it's a circular route with the<br>

(Bear in mind that, though I wouldn't go so far as to call the NB<br>
"vapourware", its ambition has thus far exceeded its reach. It's a lovely<br>
project but I think the completion date has slipped by about 10 years so<br>
far. It's a bit like standing at a station when the departure board always<br>
says it'll be here 3 minutes from now... and does so for an hour. We<br>
should be fairly careful to tag what the NB is, not what it wants to be.<br>
Even the 'National Map' on the NB website overstates its existence: there<br>
is no signage in Gloucestershire, and only intermittent signage in<br>
Oxfordshire where it coincides with the NCN, even though it claims both<br>
were completed in 2009.)<br>

</div>Oh, absolutely. The National Byway is not made up of byways - in fact,<br>
it's expressly meant to be more an "on-road" network than (say) the NCN,<br>
which is why touring cyclists like it.<br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks for the clarification.<br><br>Regards,<br><br><br>Peter<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
