I may be trying to do something similar soon. The local bicyle club
wants to have a routing service that takes the "bikeability" of roads
into account. Some information has already been tagged on all the
roads in the city so now I just need to find a routing engine that
will use the tags. Sorry, don't have any answers yet - I just started
looking at this last night :)
