The cycleway routing should take note of footways that have the tag bicycle=yes
...
Most people don't notice the bicycle signs as they are not using a bicycle.
So adding the bicycle=yes tag is simple and does not cause conflict/edit wars.
To me a cycle way should be principally used by cyclists, most of these are
shared paths and the majority might be pedestrians.
As for the new mappers .. welcome, provided these things are real, very welcome.

Apart from the addition of numerous poorly edited parks, numerous footways
(even with no construction or visible path on the ground), water features, etc
by the followers of this children's game, I am also dismayed to see that wide
shared cement ways that most would have previously marked as cycleways to aid
cycle routing are now being changed to footways. Most of my osm editing time is
taken up trying to fix all these poor edits.
Hopefully all these new editors gain experience and become a valued editing
force.

Good news people. There seems to have been a surge in the number of new mappers
in Australia:

and they all seem to be *very* interested in making sure every park is on the
map. Rivers and meadows are quite popular too.
