[GraphHopper] Something wrong with bike routing?

Hello Peter,

During the introduction of support for bicycle relations the weighting 
of highways of type cycleway, which are not part of a bicycle relation, 
unintentionally decreased in comparison to the previous versions. I 
guess that this is the difference you are seeing, because in the Benelux 
there are lots of cycleways.
Peter intends to introduce a "preference routing" feature shortly - see 
https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/issues/190, and I hope that 
this feature will allow easier tuning between the "fastest" and the 
"safest, nice" route.

regards,

ratrun
