Hi John,

After talking to many different folks about what their requirements 
are for a cycling map, it is clear to me that the cycling routing 
algorithm requires user-configurable tuning parameters.   People have 
different requirements at different times: from "find a nice path for 
a 6 year old to get to friends house" to "get me there the fastest no 
matter the traffic" and "find me an challenging route that is mostly 
off-road so I can get a great workout" and anything in between.   The 
community of needs is vast.
