Honest use of segment data

Cycle-network infrastructure coverage

63,008 official geometry segments from Melbourne, the Netherlands and New York City are held as network evidence. They are not 63,008 rideable itineraries and are never mass-published as invented routes.

Good use

Describe coverage, facility classes, management and the shape of an official infrastructure inventory.

Bad use

Calling every line segment a route, implying continuity, or assuming a mapped class proves today's riding conditions.

Route expansion

New route pages need named itineraries, useful context and source provenance—not a geometry-count shortcut.
