Also "learn to ride" is a specialized usage of a general term which could equally apply to motorcycling or horse riding. If you weren't already familiar with the specialized usage in the UK (I wasn't) then it would be confusing. I can't think of any appropriate term for the marked, paved area itself, and google didn't give me any ideas. The best I can come up with as an English description is bicycle training track or bicycle training circuit. > > https://www.weekendnotes.com/learn-to-ride-centre-tuggeranong/ > > I haven't mapped any but others have just used highway=cycleway. > There was a proposal at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/training (abandoned) for amenity=training with a new training tag and several proposed values such as training=driving. Many of the proposed values for training seem better served by some sort of educational tagging (you're taught art rather than trained in it), but maybe amenity=training deserves to be resurrected along with training=cycling. Apply it to the area enclosing the track and add highways within it if aerial imagery/GPS tracing gives you that level of detail. -- Paul
