Thanks Rene! I did in the past as you suggested, making a route relation. It showed up in many navigation apps as a highlighted route - similar to those Michelin maps that had a green shadow under the roads that were very scenic. But some of the OSM community rebuked that and it was deleted when there was a HOT operation here in Bali after the volcano eruption.

You are right - here in Asia there are no signposted bicycle routes and it would be great if we could use that feature.

Happy mapping & biking….Werner

Hi Rene

you do have a lot of edits! I do it the same way as you, first armchair and then riding - here in Bali and other islands. And I also ran into some bikers using my work on some 3rd party apps. One question I have to you as an experienced mapper (and biker): I would like to highlight roads/paths which are great alternatives to busy congested ones. Is there a way in OSM to do that? I know there is the MTB classification, but that only applies to off-road. Any other idea?
