How can I tag unofficial bicycle routes in my community? For example, the City of Stillwater has documented with actual signs on the road these routes (http://stillwater.org/document_center/Bike_Routes.pdf) I have tagged these as "lcn=yes" and named them all Stillwater Bicycle Routes in a relation.
There is a bicycle club that has created other routes that do not have actual signage on the roads. see http://www.reddirtpedalers.org/local-routes For Club routes, I could tag them as reddirtpedalers routes (i.e. Reddirtpedalers Couch Park Loop) http://www.reddirtpedalers.org/local-routes/13-couch-park-loop For the Club routes: Should I use "lcn=proposed"? (this is not valid, because they are not being proposed and most of them are outside city limits. the county does not have any routes) Should I use "lcn=unofficial"? Should I use "lcn=club"? Should the name include "unofficial" OR "bicycle = undesignated"? Also, using Stava data, I can see other used roads that are not bicycle routes, but they are widely used. see http://labs.strava.com/routing-errors/#250/13/-97.06824/36.12651 Lakeview Road north west of Stillwater going out to Lake McMurtry is a nice blacktop road without a lot of traffic, If I was riding a bicycle, I would use this road. Should I tag these "commonly used bicycle routes"? I assume official = signage on the road. Mike Henson
