<pre wrap="">Hello,
I would like to use osm to tag the appropriateness for use by road racing bicycles to roads. I have searched the mailing list and the wiki, but found no suitable commonly accepted tag.
Riding on a road by a racing bike is not just a matter of surface quality but also a matter of traffic density and maybe other factors. Because of that, I believe a new tag like "racebiking"="excellent","good","poor" or "avoid" would be a good way to express this property of the road.
What do you think?
Regards
Gerriet

<pre wrap="">Interesting idea, but you need to come up with a more objective
measure. My idea of good might be your idea of poor. How could you
measure your criteria or define them so others will come to the same
result?

There surely would be differing opinions on what grades give, but it's
hard to imagine that there generally would be as much difference as you
suggest - same road being viewed as either poor or good. </pre>

The options suggested were Excellent, Good, Poor and Avoid, so Good and
Poor are adjacent options and so if a road is not quite "Good" it must
be "Poor". <br>

<pre wrap="">Grading
probably works better, when its mostly done by people who know the
subject well - as I guess would be the case here. Anyway, for grading to
work, good guidelines would be a must.

My measure of a good tagging system is that it is described well enough
that you don't need to be an expert to tag correctly. <br>

It would be interesting to see some experimenting to happen with
grading. That would be the best way to find out how it works :-) Not to
be misunderstood, I don't think that widespread grading of things would
work well (if it would work well at all). If taken to use, it probably
should be applied only to some selected objects, and after discussion.
