Apologies for causing routing disruptions and thank you for fixing my mistake and letting me know!! I will keep that in mind and watch out for that

Hi. Thank you for bringing this up and apologies for missing your earlier comment until now. My inclination was to map roads with separated bike lanes as use_sidepath for prioritizing their use in bike navigation apps that use osm, but in reviewing the wiki again I agree with you. I appreciate the constructive feedback and I will undo the use_sidepath tags I applied.

I was struggling to find documentation on mapping routes such as this section of beach drive -- former roadways converted to year-round pedestrian/cycle ways -- fully paved like a road but functioning as a cycleway. This might not be the optimal way to map this situation, but I want to make sure the road and cycle routes function well in navigation apps and are mapped correctly. I was following Rock Creek Trail as it's mapped on DDOT's bicycle route plan: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GFyF9jtWcAA_w8A?format=jpg&name=large
