Oh shut up, seriously. I don't appreciate FUD. How on earth is the tagging UK specific? National Cycle Network Regional Cycle Network Local Cycle Network I carefully made sure that every tag I added was completely generic. They are so generic the problem is people trying to work out how they apply to the UK (i.e. what consitutes a "UK regional network"). And funnily enough, it's used around the world in different countries and nobody who is actually using them has said they are UK centric. The reason it's taken off in the UK so much is that we have a few extremely dedicated cycle route mappers who have done the vast majority of the routes. Just read the user diaries to see some of them in action. If there's nobody in a given country interested in doing the mapping, voting on the tags is hardly going to make them appear. Don't use the cycle tagging as a strawman argument to "prove" that voting is the only way things can work. Argue your case on its merits.
