[Talk-ca] Rendering rules and tagging paths and hard shoulders for cycles

[Adam Dunn]

Haven't done much bicycle tagging myself. Have you tried
tagging at openstreetmap.org? I would highly recommend including pictures from
flickr etc, since different people have different ideas about what a cycle
lane is (especially people from different countries). Here in Chilliwack a
cycle path is just a hard shoulder, like [
http://www.flickr.com/photos/question_everything/4051911346/] (sometimes not
even that wide or clean), but in Europe a cycle path might be more like [
http://www.flickr.com/photos/canadagood/3017259090/] or [
http://www.flickr.com/photos/alanstanton/2319965160/]. Good to include
photos of what you're thinking of.
