[Talk-GB] National Byway cycle route

[Sam Vekemans]

Ok, so

route=leisure; bicycle=designated
rendering of brown & at the same zoomlevels of NCN, would work awesome
for the OCM & fill the gaps :-)
I can add 'network=nsn'
for National Smooth/(sport) Network. Maybe?
So my own rendering would pick it up for the dogsledding/canoes /
rolerbladers that can unicyclers on a surf board - with detachable
wheels for the Trans Canada Trail users.

Cheers,
Sam
