bicycle=designated is not currently rendered by opencyclemap; it's just correct tagging for the route you’ve described. To get it to render you’ll need to use ncn=yes, rcn=yes, or lcn=yes (see below). bicycle=designated does not mean that only bicycles are allowed there, only that it is in some way indicated that the route is for bicycles (e.g. the bicycle symbols painted on the ground you mention, or signs, or other similar markings). > In order to use ncn/rcn/lcn, I think that I have to create a separate > physical way, don't I? Or can I do that as a relation? As far as I know you can just add one of those tags to the way; no need to create a relation. Perhaps one of the OCM guys can verify or correct this statement? Obviously you may need to split the way if the bike route enters/leaves some point in the middle. > ... this is all really much more complicated that I had expected.
