Yeah, “theoretically rideable” vs “I would ride this” is huge. On a real road there’s a certain amount of maintenance and cleaning. Shoulders? Not so much.

I'd argue that depends on where you live! LOL Bike lanes around here are usually a, "oh, we'll just dump snow here." type lane!
I rode on several of these shoulders, and it looks like they were made to be wide and smooth on purpose (i.e. for cyclists). I think our government is following the data, which says that paved shoulders save (cyclist) lives.
That depends on local tagging preferences.
(For the non-canadians, it would help to have an image linked, e.g. on Mapillary or maybe Geovisio/Panoramax.)
Also: a warm welcome to the canadian Lemmy-community!
StreetComplete has a shoulder option in the cycleway overlay. I wonder what tags it actually sets?
That's an interesting thought. I may try a spot and see what it tags it as.👍
Update: when i click on a section of road in Street Complete that already has a "cycleway=shoulder" tag, it comes up as "non, but shoulder is usable for cyclists". So it looks like the cycleway=shoulder tag is correct. And that tag shows up correctly on Cycleosm, too.
Ooh, good question. Since there’s a tag, I say use it!
