[OSM-talk] tagging suitability for use by race bikes to roads

[OJ W]

How about this discussion...

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Routing_profiles


I tried some bike routing with pyroute and it seemed fairly happy
choosing residential roads around town.  The only real change for
fragile bikes would be that it's difficult to tell whether
"highway=cycleway" is a suitable route.

Perhaps we could start by saying that highway=cycleway is only
routeable by road bikes if it also contains surface=sealed or
surface=tarmac.
