I don't understand this. You want to use cycle route/network routing for 
a work/home route where both work and home are nowhere near a cycle 
route or network? This seems pretty obvious to me actually... Please use 
the Mapnik or Cycle layer to route using all available roads where 
cyclists are allowed....

There is a button in the header that labels: 'Edit map'. If you click 
that then Potlatch is opened with the current map view.

Yes, it is possible, but not implemented yet :-)

It already does prefer cycle routes, in fact is does *only* cycle 
routes. But maybe that's your point. If you want the best of both worlds 
then I think Gosmore has to be adapted to accommodate this or the OSM 
data for the routing database should be manipulated in such a way that 
Gosmore gives a high penalty to non-cycle route ways.
