@ascentale @pete @bikenite #bikenite A5: Funnily enough, I spent a few hours exploring bits of the Earth, Rivers & Ironbark trail https://nix-tracks.com/earth-rivers-and-ironbark/ last week which comes with the warning:

Bicycle on a dirt (not gravel!) road, leaning up against a stump.  The road is mostly hard baked dirt but there's two very deep tyre tracks carved into it from a damper season.

@yorkie @AsphaltandEarth @ascentale @pete @bikenite You mean this 'bike lane'? (Seen in Germany. The blue traffic sign indicates that the path is mandatory to be used by bicycle or on foot.)

Next to a country road is a narrow, unpaved footpath with a mandatory sign for cyclists and pedestrians.
