I'm in favor of being flexible for cycling routes. A good example is
the great divide mtb route in Canada & US. It is probably not signed
very well, if at all. It was created by a non-profit & I don't think
it is an official government route. It is used by quite a few people,
both on bikes and motorbikes. It is in OSM and should remain so.

I think the word “race” should be left out, unless it is for mapping
actual racing routes.
Cycling can be left off - already in the network tag.
Not 'type' - says nothing.
'road' would be ? Narrow tyres?
mtbs we already have .. but
commuter - local commuter routes to/from shops, transport hubs
touring - longer distance routes
fitness/exorcise - for the locals
scenic/cafe - for local meetings?
Some of the routes around me are well sign posted .. others are not so
well done.
Some local council issue maps .. some of these routes are usefull
others are dreaming.
In some parts of the world there are no marked 'cycling routes' yet
cyclists travel from one point to another using roads/tracks and paths
that most motor vehicle don't.. it would be nice if these could be
mapped in OSM as there is usually no other source.
I don't think a requirement that bicycle routes must have signage fits
the entire world.
