The requirements for cyclists and motorized vehicles are vastly different. Even stronger, the very fact that something is a good long-distance route for motorists would often make it a worse candidate for cyclists, but probably not with cycle tracks or cycle lanes. Still that leaves us with a bunch of roads with cycle lanes, tertiary, unclassified and residential roads and cycleways where local knowledge is the only way to choose between them. -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com
