TRIP PLANNER FORM: bike mode and options

[fpurcell]

The FLATTEST and QUICKEST trip options, when combined with a bike mode option, are generating some unsafe trips (e.g., Ross Island Bridge specials).

So the desire right now (at least until we get a bike triangle again, etc...) is where a bike mode is used, not give the option drop down. Just go with SAFEST bike mode option. That said, if we combine bike and transit, and can apply SAFEST to bike, and then give the FEWEST TRANSFERS and QUICKEST options relating just to the transit modes, that would be fine.

@fpurcell, is this more of a trimet-mod-otp issue or does it belong here?

[fpurcell]

The argument could be made that this is a general problem. The bike+transit trips out of OTP are not using the biking amenities that are in OSM w/out the SAFEST flag.

In terms of the instances we have on trimet.org (e.g., trimet-mod-otp ... eventually trimet.org using otp-ui), we want the option drop-down gone, and the SAFEST option passed to the routing engine. Currently Landon, I don't see a way to configure this in trimet-mod-otp.
