Hi Steven,
> I'd love to be able to route planning that is bike-aware.
Please bring this up again once we have route planning in.
The algorithm that finds paths will make its decisions based on "scores"
for different types of road. In a "bike routing mode" the scores can be
different.
However, a lot of this functionality would require data that's just not
available (bike lanes, shoulder widths). We could talk about adding
this data in the same way we may add one-way road flags, but this is not
for a while.

This is planned. When loading a trace we could have an option to take
advantage of the "stick to roads" feature or not.
