If the "lane" is too narrow to function safely as a bike lane, then I would
break the street way at this point, code the portion of the way that has the functional
bike lane as cycleway=lane (if this is not a dual carriageway then use
cycleway:left/right as apporopriate), and add a note tag that the bike lane going beyond
is too narrow to serve as a bike lane. If the bike lane widens some distance after the
restriction, then break the way again and tag that section with cycleway=lane again,
leaving the non-functional stretch without a cycleway tag. My experience is that people
who ride bikes on busy streets (which this one seems to be) don't like surprises, so
showing a gap lets them know that something requires attention at that point. I think we
will see routing software in the very near future that will list note tags.

Well, if it's the width that Anthony is concerned about:
1. I wouldn't class this as too narrow for a bike lane. Single file,
yes, but still wide enough to cycle.
2. Use width=*
Is the adjacent path shared? if so, note that that would be the safer
passage.
