This template is in articles about specific cycling paths. The example on the right shows a good example of how a path template is properly used.

Parameter descriptions

Parameter Description
name Name of the path
length_km Length of the path in kilometers, as a single number. Will convert to miles automatically
length_mi Length of the path in miles, as a single number. Will convert to kilometers automatically. Please only use for paths in the United States or the United Kingdom
length Length of path, no auto-conversion. Use if you want to add more words or citation to length.
location Location of the path including park, state, county or region where appropriate and country.
trailheads where path begins and ends
use always include at least cycling
photo Photo of the area around the path. Specify as filename.jpg, no need for "File:". Please use a high-resolution original (at least 300 pixels wide).
photo_size Width of displayed photo, in pixels. Defaults to 250.
photo_alt Alternate text for the displayed photo
designation Any designation which the path has received e.g. UK National Cycle Network or Dutch LF-Route.
established Establishment date
elev_gain_and_loss The elevation gain and/or loss e.g. "{{convert|300|m|ft|-1}} gain" or "{{convert|300|m|ft|-1}} gain in; {{convert|100|m|ft|-1}} gain out". Please express the gain or loss in meters or feet, not kilometers or miles.
elev_change The sum of the altitude climbed or descended through the path. Auto-converts units if _ft or _m suffix is used.
elev_change_ft
elev_change_m
highest_m Elevation of highest point on path, in either meters or feet (will autoconvert). Please use _ft only for paths in the United States and the United Kingdom
highest_ft
highest_name Name of highest point in path (for use with highest_ft or highest_m)
highest Free field for highest point in path, use when citations is needed
lowest_m Similar to highest_ etc., except describing the lowest point of the path
lowest_ft
lowest_name
lowest
grade The grade in percent, typical with former railroad right-of-ways
difficulty The difficulty of the path for a typical healthy person based on a reliable source
season The season(s) that the path may be cycled, or is easily accessible
months The months that the path may be hiked, or is easily accessible
sights Significant sights along the way
hazards Major hazards that a cyclist may encounter, as documented by a reliable source
surface The path surface(s): natural, gravel, ballast, asphalt, etc.
ROW The current or former Right of way, e.g. railroads or railways
certification Certification by official cycling organisations e.g. ADFC 4 star route
website Website of the organization that maintains the path
waymark The waymark (sign or symbol) used to mark or signpost the route
map Map of the path, if an image
map_name Map name. Default is "Path map".
map_size Size of map (either in px or %)
map_alt Alt text for map
map_caption Caption for map
route Map of the path, if a route diagram template
route_state Collapsed state of route map

Embed inside another Infobox

The cycling path Infobox can be embedded inside another Infobox for seamless display of info. For example, a cycling path that is also a protected area, such as the Kal-Haven Trail. See the testcases for more examples.

Inserting the cycling path Infobox inside the parent Infobox

The cycling path Infobox can only be inserted after certain field values of the parent template. Specifically, only after fields whose values are not passed to another template by the parent templates source code. In other words, the parent templates source code for the field has to output the fields' value without passing it to a template. This may require examining the parent templates source code. It is ok to insert after field values that contain internal [[]] and external links [].
Example:

{| style="float:right; clear:right; border:0; margin:-0.5em 0 0 0;"
|-
|{{Infobox Protected area
| name = Kal-Haven Trail
...
| governing_body = <div>[[Michigan Department of Natural Resources]]</div>
{{Infobox cycling path
  | embed = yes
  | cellstyle = padding:0.1em 0.3em;
  | name = Kal-Haven Trail
  | length = {{convert|34.5|mi|km|1}}
...
  }}
}}
|}

Note the <div> tag surrounding the governing_body wiki link. It is needed to reduce the vertical spacing between the governing_body field and the first cycling path field, in this case, length.

Parent Infobox encapsulation

The parent Infobox needs to be encapsulated in a table as in the above example.

{| style="float:right; clear:right; border:0; margin:-0.5em 0 0 0;"
|-
|(parent Infobox)
|}

Parameters

Field name Description
embed Set to embed = yes when embedding inside another Infobox.
cellstyle Set to a class/style that matches the outer Infoboxes cell class/style so that the columns line up properly. Example for using with {{Infobox protected area}}:
cellstyle = padding:0.1em 0.3em;
title A first colored header before the main infobox, used when embedded, to show the path name
