[GraphHopper] Something wrong with bike routing?

[Peter Bryan]

Thanks for the quick responses. The old route did use more cycleways so
that seems to be the problem indeed. I'll keep an eye on the gitbug issue.

I've noticed that the GPS Visualizer link only works for a few days. Here
is the same route comparison for reference:

Keep up the good work!
