In Ottawa we have paved shoulders which show up on the city's cycle maps as recommended. You can tag them but the normal rendering doesn't really show them on a cycle map. I set something up using Maperitive https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WkJzx5NffRv0TIQgCFFGTQzyqbQ9XDphSLqcjuM8wGM/edit?hl=en_USbut I agree there isn't really a consistant way that things are handled in OSM for cycle paths etc.
