Understanding How Rails (4.2) Configure Sites in Subdirectories by Category

Sorry for the confusing title.

We would like to specify categories in subdirectories and run sites with the same configuration.
For example, example.com/car/articles lists articles about cars and example.com/car/shops lists car dealerships
example.com/bike/articles is a list of articles about motorcycles and example.com/bike/shops is a list of bike shops.

I'm afraid that I should do /categories/(car|bike), but I'm thinking of focusing the car's top page on example.com/car and the bike's top page on example.com/bike, so I'd like to do a restful URL design under /car, /bike.
By the way, regardless of car or bike, I am thinking of making the following configurations the same.

Currently

namespace:main, :path=>"/:category"do
  resources —articles
  resources:shops

You have configured routes as shown in , and when you attach a link,

=link_to "name", [:main,@article,:category=>@category_name]#@category_name=params[:category]

It is working in the form shown in , but I think it is redundant to specify the :category.
Is there a good practice that handles these cases well?

Please let me know.

If I am in the same situation, I think I will write it as below.

%i(carbike).each do|category|
   namespace category do
     resources —articles
     resources:shops
   end
end

This will generate routes as follows:

car_articles GET/car/articles(.:format)car/articles#index
....
bike_articles GET/bike/articles(.:format)bike/articles#index

I haven't checked, but it might work below...?

=link_to "name", [@category_name, @article]
