[GraphHopper] Something wrong with bike routing?

[Peter K]

Thanks! I've added your example to the issue.

If you or others have other tracks where I can check the bike routing
then feel free to post them here with a GraphHopper Maps Link and
optionally a GPX file (or via GPS Visualizer) for the expected route.

Regards,
Peter.
