there's various lane indications such as
cycleway=lane
cycleway=opposite_lane
cycleway:left=lane
cycleway:right=lane
for various configurations of lane.
For separate from road, generally this is done similar to carriageways
of dual carriageways, with a separate way, tagged highway=cycleway.
For some ways, especially well away from roads, and perhaps sometimes
for sahred-use footways, you will also find
highway=footway with bicycle=yes
meaning it is primarily a footway which bikes are permitted to use.
Similarly highway=bridleway (with or without bicycle=yes - bridleways
are legally permitted for bikes in the UK, so that is redundant, but I
think some people do this to indicate it is more suitable for bikes than
most bridleways).

Phil,
Well, I am sure that there are tags to go on the main highway way to
show its cycleability - things like cycle=lane or cycle=track, to show a
road with a separate cycle track running next to it rather than just a
lane painted on the road,but I have just had a look on the Wiki and
can't find it - you might have more success!

Dear Experts,
Can anyone propose a test that I can use to distinguish between
roadside cycle-lanes and off-road cycle paths?
This is part of my effort to superimpose OSM path info onto OS
District Map. I would like to show off-road cycle paths that would
typically be shown on a paper OS map, perhaps as a bridleway, and
not roadside paths that would not be shown separately from the road
itself.
One option is to look only for the footpath/bridleway tags, but that
does seem to miss some things.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Phil.
