unless those trails are only and only for mountain biking, I would
suggest we use a more generic distinction, like the
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/grade1-5
thing.

I wouldn't use that trail from the photo with my motorbike, but I know
people that would do it :-), as well as pedestrians, they can perfectly
use that, so unless it is only for bikes, I would suggest we use
highway=track and tracktype=gradeX (or highway=cycleway tracktype=gradeX
if it is a cycleway only).
