⚠ Have you searched for similar, already existing issues?
Yes, I searched for similar issues but couldn’t find anything related.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, when building bicycle routes in Organic Maps, the app displays only the distance and gradient of the route, along with a dotted line representing the path (see screenshot 1). However, this minimal information often makes it hard to fully understand the quality and type of the route.

For example:

It's unclear whether the route includes bike lanes, shared bike and pedestrian paths, or standard streets.
There’s no information about the surface type (asphalt, gravel, etc.), which is important for cyclists planning their trips.

Describe the ideal solution
I suggest improving the navigation experience for bicycle routes by adding more detailed information about the track. This can be implemented as follows:

Detailed Route Information in the Bottom Panel
The panel should initially display basic details (distance, gradient, and time) as it does now.
If the user pulls up the panel, it should expand to show detailed information, such as:
Type of paths: bike lanes, bike-only paths, shared pedestrian paths, or standard streets.
Surface types: asphalt, gravel, dirt roads, etc.
Stylized Route Line on the Map
Replace the dotted line with a stylized one, where different types of paths are represented with distinct colors or patterns (see screenshots 1 and 2 for reference).

Describe alternatives you have considered
Currently, I rely on the following apps to solve this issue:

2GIS and Yandex Maps for finding where bike lanes are located.
Komoot to estimate the surface type and determine how suitable it is for my bike.
However, it would be much more convenient to have all this information directly in Organic Maps.

Additional context
Here are some example screenshots for reference:
