It seems odd to have both "bikes" and "biking" as top-level tags
Should [biking] and [bikes] be synonymized or perhaps "bikes" made a child of "biking"?
I'm not very familiar with Codidact's hierarchical tags and what they imply for cases like this. Do you do something like this?
- biking
- bikes
- maintenance
- commuting
- offroad
- bikes

I believe [biking] and [bikes] should be synonymous indeed (or we can probably just remove one tag or the other). I don't think any deeper considerations were made when picking tags and a lot of them also appeared as part of post imports from Stack Exchange.
There is no obvious need to use tag hierarchies either, they are a neat feature but hardly mandatory. Although since this site has a very broad scope, it might not be such a bad idea to consider hierarchies starting at some main activity: biking, hiking, climbing, hunting, animals etc etc. This would help if we at some point want to split off a certain tag to a category of its own, if we find that the rules for posts below that tag might differ - animal/insect/place identification questions for example.
