Hi, thanks all for your answers.

I agree with Jo and Sander : there is something missing in the current way of 
describing those bicycle highways which are indeed very specific in their 
realisation (exactly like a car highway) and their use (connecting cities). 

I don’t agree with Sander when talking about getting freed of the icn, ncn and 
rcn network tags : they are extremely widely used and useful for rendered like 
http://cycling.waymarkedtrails.org/ <http://cycling.waymarkedtrails.org/> to 
render the relations accurately. I don’t really see your point here.

However, before talking about relation, I think a specific value should be 
introduced for the highway key : “cyclehighway" for instance. This would help 
the renderer to show those infrastructures differently than the usual 
“cycleway” (the infamous "piste cyclable” that usually sounds like an insult 
for most serious bikers).

This is however something that has to be discussed on a higher level than 
Belgium. Where is this place ?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this.

Matthieu
