Hi! I think numbered bicycle route signs are no longer considered valid by Wayfarer and they sometimes remove them, as discussed here

Still vehemently disagree with this.

I understand why this is very frustrating, especially since (as far as I am aware) these are only put up next to recreational cycling routes that are considered scenic. However, I think that the type of cycling trails that Wayfarer wants are those that were specifically created as (themed) tours with a name, as indicated by them clarifying they deem “trails that encourage following a specific official route” eligible. Local example. The “nodes” of numbered junction cycle network aren’t premade tours, they are supposed to allow people to create their own routes if I understand correctly.

In the Netherlands, eligible routes would probably be these named ones

Thanks for the appeal, @azertyuioo! We have taken another look, but stand by our decision to retire the Wayspots.
