If it is clearly a bicycle lane, then there is a tag for that (cycleway=lane). Have a look at the bicycle examples on the wiki. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bicycle. However if it really isn't a usable cycle lane (cars are parked on it) then you may be doing more harm than good.
My advice would be if you can't clearly identify the facility or route, then maybe don't tag them for now. Especially if you aren't surveying by bicycle or following a route. A bicycle stencil may mean it is part of a council cycle network. It may indicate some form of bicycle lane or other facility. Or it may indicate nothing at all. Some are even stamped on cross streets approaching a bicycle facility. An unfortunate consequence over overtagging bicycle facilities in Australia seems to be many lcn's which provide no on-road facilities and no routing benefits. Ian.
