Imagine a map with just the cycleways (a VERY bare map) as some people

That argument wrongfully assumes all cities suck at providing adequate
routes for all commuters, which is demonstratably incorrect for much of
the pacific northwest and europe.
I'm a bit bemused by your reply which seems irrelevant:
You weren't talking about /all /commuters, just cyclists. It's you who
wants all roads other than those for cyclists removed.
Therefore my previous comments.
I'm fully aware of how complete urban areas are mapped.
When people read a map they need information about what is come up
ahead of & around them. As I said before, this includes info other
than just cycle routes.
" I'm fully aware of how complete urban areas are mapped."
I should add that we should be planning for how complete the map is
going to be in the /future/.
You're suggesting we should be leave relevant information out purely
because it /may /not be mapped now, which is clearly ridiculous.
