Hi,
Seems like we have a fair bit to discuss if we ever manage to sit down
over a beer. I agree, however, that overall most of these differences
are unlikely to make a substantial difference to the map.
However, returning to the two key points on cycle routes in AU.
Firstly, mapping personal

Hi.
I agree with Ian. Some of this comes down to a question of What is a cycle
route?
Most of the ones I have mapped (and there are quite a few in Sydney) are
laid out by local government. I generally look for some evidence on the
ground before I add lcn, and I often look at council maps to

Cycle and walking routes get relocated, torn up, fences put across them.

I disagree. The map what's on the ground is a good mantra. It
solves 90% plus of contentious mapping issues, by making a decision
to map what is there. It also guides us towards verifiability - which
is a key tenet

Verifiability and objectivity are the principles here - so let's call
them that. Map what's on the ground fails in plenty of cases:
- walking/bike routes (what's on the ground is a few signposts, nothing
more)
- ferry routes

Thanks for your wise comments, Ian. I do clearly see the problem with
individuals tagging up their own favourite routes into OSM. I will put
my personal rides on bikely, and keep adding objective data to OSM.
This afternoon I have discovered a cycle planning document from Newcastle

I've recently moved back to Lake Macquarie after some years in Canberra,
and I'm delighted to find that there are more cycle paths around the
central coast and Lake Macquarie than I was previously aware of.
Unfortunately many of them are either incomplete or disconnected from each

I can see your argument, and no doubt having useful cycle routes available
is a good thing.
However, I don't think personal ad-hoc cycle routes should be added to
OSM. It is a slippery slope, and OSM can't accommodation everyone's ideal
connecting route.
Instead, I'd add the information (speed
Hi.
I agree with Ian.
Routing sites should be able to connect up disconnected SUPs in a sensible
manner.
As an aside, it would be nice if sites like Bikely supported OSM as a
background.
