I agree that the maps are good. The line roads and offset naming rendering
style works well for a gird system, and will work less well in most of the
UK, so UK cycle maps are unlikely to look exactly the same.
However, the only information we are missing to be able to render the maps
with the same detail as for Perth etc is the tags for 'poor road riding
environment' and 'medium road riding environment'. The tags 'lcn=poor' and
'lcn=medium' could be used alongside 'lcn=yes'. An better alias for
'lcn=yes' might be 'lcn=good'.
Also missing is the incline data. I guess we could tag Ways with
'incline=yes' and incline=reverse' or something else as a work round not
having elevation data. Possibly we should be able to shown 'incline=10%' or
'incline=-10%'. Not really a problem where I live though!

Peter
