I think that would be going too far. > This is my idea of a well documented cycle map: > > http://www.bristolbathrailwaypath.org.uk/library/Railway_Path_Leaflet_Part_2.pdf > > It's very clear even if you've not been there & well labelled.

It feels like it’s primarily showing how to drive to access the path, with the path itself being secondary. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing, depending on the purpose of the map. IMO the map I linked is not very good in a lot of ways – water overemphasized, hideous hard-to-see shade of green for the bike routes, awful choices for some things (e.g. “pets and easier biking” is not the same in the key as it is on the map, and doesn’t look good anyway). But it does illustrate the de-emphasis of highways rather nicely. -Alex Mauer “hawke”
