Yes, I have tought of it, but I expect it not to work for bycycle 
routing. I haven't do any tests with it, so my assumption could be 
wrong. But the road speed classes are defined for car routing 10kmh, 
30kmh, 50kmh... 130 kmh which are obviously not proper for cycle 
routing. Maybe this classes are used with other speed values.
