Interesting that this page does talk about OSM routing only for cars. It
does not even mention routing for cyclists, which is used in practice both
offline on route planning tools like bikeroutetoaster.com and naviki.org as
in real-time routing on Garmin portable devices like edge Toyuring and edge
1000 (both with OSM maps) and more generally many portable Garmin devices
are used with OSM maps (velomap.org; openmtbmap.org; garmin.openstreetmap.nl
)

We are discussing routing for cyclists at the moment on [talk-de] and I
compiled in my post (
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-de/2014-July/108722.html) a
preliminary list of map elements that could/should be used for cycle
routing.

I think we should start some more systematic work in this direction, i.e
compile OSM_tags_for_car_routing and OSM_tags_for_bicycle_routing and start
talking to the routing "makers" about what we users want.
