Hi,
After discussion at a mapping party in Toulouse, I propose a new tag
bike_safety to scale how safe a street/road is for bicyles.

Given that studies disagree about what makes a street safe for cyclists,
any tagging would be based not on safety but on how comfortable the
mapper feels while riding in his or her preferred style. Use
hazard:bicycle if there's a specific hazard (e.g. door zone bike lane,
badly-positioned drainage grates, angled railway crossing, attack dogs
that chase cyclists). Otherwise safety depends much more on how
defensively the cyclist rides than how the street is designed.
