[Tagging] mesh bicycle network

[Volker Schmidt]

I see similarities of this approach with the hiking paths of the alpine
clubs, but with the important difference that the routes do not have a
reference.
And it's very similar to a node network, except that the nodes are not
numbered.
It's a 1:1 copy of the road network signposting (and please allow the
comment, has the same drawback in the sense that is not helpful to people
who are not familiar with the area and don't know the names of the places
and their relative positions)

I fear the only sensible thing to do is to put the lcn and REF on each way,
but no relation, and map the signposts (even if there is no routing
software at the moment that makes use of this information, as far as I
know).
Not the best solution, but the signposting in this way does not work well
either for the end user (talking from experience).
