I buy Dave's comment (see below).
Forget about the cycleway and bicycle tags and lets develop a shoulder set
of tag then (which was, in the first place, the subject of this
discussion). Mostly informative and not taken into consideration within the
opencyclemap project.
You know, after a third and fourth thoughts about this ... I can see if
there is a shoulder on almost every road in my area simply by looking at
Google Street View ... I guess one of the purpose of Openstreetmap is to
not rely on Google or other mapping source but ...

Yes, I can bike on normal lane and I do it. I don't like however to find
myself on a 90km/h road with no shoulders. This is the kind of situation I
would like to avoid when preparing my trip. This is why the shoulder
indicator would be usefull IMO.
A shoulder tag is fine, but it should be added as a sub tag of the main
highway=* such as shoulder=yes/no shoulder_width=* etc.
It should not be associated with bicycle=* or cycleway=*. If it's a
shoulder then vehicles can enter it.
If there's a lane at the side of the road designated for bikes then it's
not a shoulder.
Take a look at this for relevant examples:
