Yes, in > Heh, that makes about three people with very simple "takes" on the matter - and they're all contradictory. The matter is "simple" to lots of people - with different understandings each time. Ultimately, it comes down to this: there is a clear difference between a dirt path that bikes are allowed on, and a smooth, wide, obstacle free path of compacted limestone that happens not to be signed with any bike signs. That difference is worth encoding, and that's why "highway=footway bicycle=yes" is not satisfactory to me at the moment, and why I'll continue to (ab)use "highway=cycleway". My apologies for the dead horse though, I'm happy to drop this at the moment, for want of anything more useful to add to the conversation. Roy: >I came across this problem too.

I do that when it's unpaved, and I really have no idea if bikes are even allowed or not. One I did today: http://osm.org/go/uGtPRKFLD- Steve
