Hello,

I think it is a somewhat controversial (and not by any means new) topic with decent arguments to be made on both sides:

- I did not create these specific trails as cycleways. I have been just trying to update and clean stuff up after actually riding them recently. They definitely are dedicated, designed-for-MTB singletracks, not some random passages in the forest not forbidding access by bikes.

- Most MTB areas in Kentucky I am familiar with use cycleway (and I have added some trails this way).

- I am not particularly fond of how generic highway=path is, but would not feel about it strongly enough to revert if someone made a consistent cycleway->path change everywhere :-).

Cheers!
