[Talk-GB] National Byway cycle route

[Sam Vekemans]

+101 for rendering it brown, so its different than NCN, RCN, LCN
I can use it & promote it for the 'Trans Canada Trail' as a 'exact
definition' as a "leasure route" with 'cycling being 1 activity, but
not designated for that 1 activity' & mountain biking / road cycling /
hiking / ATV /canoeing /motercycle /dogsled differences are 'purposly
blured'
-the actual activities are signposted. And the ways would very,
depending on the ground truths.

Cheers,
Sam

ps Calling it a 'National Smooth Network' NSN might be going
overboard, (but not that far fetched) see www.tctrail.ca

pps (National Sport Network) is a little better :-)
ppps exact tagging is upto you, 'byway' works too, 'bi-way' is
actually a cheep discount store that got bought out by the 'Dollar
Store' :)
