Sorry,
The 2 examples I mentioned, river side and on ramps were not deleted.

Hi
I am looking at the map as if a cyclist visitor to Perth. I am using
Osmand with the bike routes highlighted feature turned on. I presume
the highlighted routes are the same ones that are being talked about. I
can't be sure. The highlights look useful and I would use them. They
pick out the paths on either side of the river and the ramps onto
bridges. Routes that I would naturally gravitate towards. I can easily
turn off the highlights. I definitely want these routes, assuming the
highlights are the same thing as being discussed here.

I'm also a Perth cyclist, and I think I pretty much agree with what
others have said. These routes should stay on the map if they're
signposted on the ground, but other than that I think they're often not
particularly great routes. I must admit that the cyclemap render now
(since the removal of these routes) actually looks a lot more like my
intuitive idea of what cycling looks like in Perth â i.e. there are
some good purpose-made paths along the freeways, and other than that
there's not much. With the official routes, it always looked like there
was this amazing cross-cutting network of cycleways, and actually
that's not really the case.

Well, he has answered a changeset comment:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/116656873
I'll leave it to the WA OSM community if that's a valid reason to simply
delete
a whole bunch of routes for which there definitely are signs on the
ground,
and what to do about it.
I am from Perth, and am a cyclist. I agree with aaronsta that these routes
are pretty useless. I have often looked at the signage and wondered about
OSM & the usefulness of the routes. I might not have gone to the extent of
deleting them, but it is probably the right thing to do (they are
pretty-much obsolete and I doubt if anyone uses them)
