Hey Sarah, 

Nice idea! I like the bike profiles. :-) What i missed on the touring profile is to make use of all the nice routes for bicycles. (eg. National and Regional Routes). The osrm guided me with your profiles over steep hills and on some ways with a lot of traffic, where the official bicycle route would make the way just some minutes longer but much more comfortable. So for myself, id like to have a bicycle profile: "take as many official bikeroutes as possible".

As a result of my tries on your page I also installed the osrm server and the webinterface here locally. As I'm not an IT pro, it took me quite long. :-) But it seems to work. But now while having a look on your profiles and how exactly it works I'm getting into the direction of having no clue. 

Did you think about this Relation topic? Do you know if it somehow would be possible?

Cheers, 
Petr

Hoi,

I have now split the bike and pedestrian profiles into two profiles, where
one preferes paved ways, the other unpaved ones. Note that apart from one or
two exceptions, the different profiles do not exclude more ways, they just
rank them lower to give you a better route. This should cater best to the
average biker/walker. Extreme cases like MTB or racing bikes would need
their own profiles but that is probably better done on dedicated sites.

Other changes:
* for bikes, mtb:scale is taken into account (excluding the path if set)
* optional hill shading layer

The whole issue with elevation profiles is a bit more complicated as
this really needs support from the routing engine. There are plans to
implement it but when that will happen, I do not know.
