I agree but until now I used the tags to tell in which cities I was 
(e.g. when riding by bike vrom Gau-Odernheim to Bechtolsheim I added 
both names as a Tag), because this way I could take a fast look onto 
anything that I altready did in e.g. Bechtolsheim.

I have not thought about adding that I used a bicycle for that. Without 
having some kind of documentation about what *could* be added, people 
won't add the information nor get developers to use them.

So maybe a documentation about the possibilities would be a better start.
