I think the word “race” should be left out, unless it is for mapping actual
racing routes.
Cycling can be left off - already in the network tag.
Not 'type' - says nothing.
'road' would be ? Narrow tyres?
mtbs we already have .. but
commuter - local commuter routes to/from shops, transport hubs
touring - longer distance routes
fitness/exorcise - for the locals
scenic/cafe - for local meetings?
Some of the routes around me are well sign posted .. others are not so well
done.
Some local council issue maps .. some of these routes are usefull others are
dreaming.
In some parts of the world there are no marked 'cycling routes' yet cyclists
travel from one point to another using roads/tracks and paths that most motor
vehicle don't.. it would be nice if these could be mapped in OSM as there is
usually no other source.
I don't think a requirement that bicycle routes must have signage fits the
entire world.
