Richard and I would welcome views on this.

We think in particular that a significant part of the cycle parking data 
(generally the residential areas, where there is little parking presently) 
and the speed bumps data are ripe for automated conversion. These form tens 
of thousands of locations which we feel are very low risk, useful data, and 
eminently suitable for import.

Speed bumps:
https://bikedata.cyclestreets.net/tflcid2osm:type=bumps_road/#14.98/51.47101/-0.02755

Cycle parking:
https://bikedata.cyclestreets.net/tflcid2osm:type=parking_new/#14.98/51.46059/-0.05586

(Note that Richard is shortly aiming to split out the parking_new dataset 
into two, one with no existing cycle parking nearby, making it very safe to 
ensure these would be safe to import.)
