I want this really badly. Around me (North Germany) the cycling infrastructure is great for the casual commuter, but the quality of paths for road bikes varies dramatically - some bike paths are beautifully smooth and wide, whilst others are bumpy/gravelly and too narrow for safely overtaking slower riders. Distinguishing between them using Strava heatmaps or other mapping tools seems impossible until I actually go out and ride them. Alternatively, an app where I could simply mark myself the roads I have ridden and a quality indicator would be useful (maybe this exists?).
- jakecopp 6y agoIn OSM you can add tags of the bike path surface, see below: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bicycle https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bicycle https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:surface https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:surface OsmAnd will show you the surface types along a route as you're planning, and you can adjust which surfaces you'd like to cycle on!
