[Tagging] Tagging for the renderer : One-way "flow" bicycle tracks

[Mike Thompson]

One of the trails was
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/593945914#map=19/37.99250/-122.50667
highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway?uselang=en> path
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=path?uselang=en>
horse <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:horse?uselang=en> no
name <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name?uselang=en> Bunny
oneway:bicycle
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:oneway:bicycle?uselang=en> yes
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:oneway:bicycle=yes?uselang=en>
surface <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:surface?uselang=en> dirt
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface=dirt?uselang=en>

The solution might be to add incline=* and mtb:scale=* and then improve the
routing algorithm to avoid downhill-only mountain bike trails when hiking.
