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

Biking currently has 26 posts and bikes has 17. Neither has a tag description. The latter is newer.
This answer suggests merging them and no one's objected in the four months since it was posted. If we merge, which tag do y'all want to survive? Clicking the buttons is easy, but I don't want to make a unilateral decision.

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.
