For these "class III" bike routes, I have just been tagging them with
lcn=yes and lcn_ref=## if the route has a name or number. Even if
they're not part of any cycle network, they're at least officially
condoned by the local authorities (if they've got green bike signs) so
I figure that is sufficient for the lcn tag. The lcn tag alone will
also get rendered on the OSM cycle map.
And regarding getting cycle map tiles rendered, just ask the
maintainer Andy Allan (CC'ed in this email) and he will start
rendering any area you are tagging. Check out Washington D.C. or the
major Canadian cities (Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver) for good North
American examples that are already getting rendered.

Are there any server set up there rendering North American (or, at
least, Bay Area) tiles similar to the OSM cycle map?

I'd also be curious - does mapnik have the ability to render
partially transparent PNGS, to use as an overlay?

Class I is the separated bike path, with a physical separation
between the bicycle path and vehicle traffic, or on a route which
other vehicle traffic doesn't follwo. This one is easy, you trace
in the path, and make it highway=cycleway; cycleway=track. It's
just the same as drawing in separate roads for divided roads.
Class II is the bike lane with its own lane markings, but it is
immediately adjacent the vehicle lanes. This also seems to be
pretty clear: just add a cycleway=lane tag to the road it is part
of, right?
Class III is a "shared use" facility with the cars, it just has the
green "bicycle route" signs occasionally. Hopefully it has a wide
outside lane, but not always. How do you put this one in? do you
add a bicycle=designated tag to the road, or what?
I have been classifying Class I & II cycleways in San Francisco
using the above method. I haven't got on to the Class III type but
bicycle=designated seems appropriate to me.
I think your suggestions line up with how I would tag it, too. I'm
curious where you heard about the Class I, II, III designations,
though. I'm a California native and occasional bike rider and I've
never heard of these.

Here's the detail on their classification in California. I'm not
sure if the same is used elsewhere in the US though:
