If I am correct, then what would be > the difference between this and cycleway=track? cycleway=track is a property of another road (e.g. highway=primary) to show that there is an adjacent path for cycling. If you were to add the required nodes and a second way, that second way would be highway=cycleway. So cycleway=track is a shorthand that people use when they don't want to put in two ways. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:cycleway actually explains it quite well.
