| Working with the class:bicycle tag | Happy to see, there are more mappers using this tag! Thanks for your blog post - it reminds me to really take the plunge soon and write about our project’s experiences with this tag… :-) Feel free to take a look at our project Lüneburg Maps’ (#lgmaps) organised editing website on this tag: osm.wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities/LGMaps/class:bicycle (main project site: osm.wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities/LGMaps, still only in German, sorry to all the others). We have been (and still are) thoroughly using and testing this tag since 2019 around the city of Lüneburg (50 km south of Hamburg) and tried to implement a more systematic framework for assessing the bicycle-related subjective quality of road infrastructure. So far there are more than 2600 km road network around Lüneburg tagged width class:bicycle=. We are using this tag *in addition to the more objective tags like highway=, surface=, smoothness=* etc., not instead of them. We also have been using Mapillary since 2021 (yes, Panoramax would have been nicer), see https://www.mapillary.com/app/org/lgmaps. Mappers using the app instead of our 360° project-gopro just take sequences of photos along the way (like here: https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=507597247397942), but some also applied the phone with duct tape to their bikes or helmets. No worries about looking weird… People will get used to you riding around like that :-D Anyway: thanks again for sharing your experiences! Please update us on how you get along with this tag.
