A french cyclist association create this map : http://bicyclette69.free.fr/carte/carte.html. This map is really nice. But I think they use maperitive which is proprietary.
Why not create an XML mapnik style to have an equivalent map ? I think about starting with osm bright ( https://github.com/mapbox/osm-bright/ ) and adding cycling feature... I never do this but I think that we can use Tilemill ( https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/ ) to create the carto css file that can be converted into the xml mapnik style. Proposing to cyclists a way to create easily a cycling map can attract a lot of persons. And the message is very simple : "you like this map ? you want it for your city ? it is simple : encode (properly) the cycling infrastructure in OSM and you'll have the map". For the Gracq there exists a lot of local chapter ( http://www.gracq.be/GRACQ/006Contacts-002Locales ). I involve in the Mons chapter and the people of the chapter are very interested to discover OSM (and why not generate a map) and most of the people of the Gracq will go to the 25 Avril event as it is a training on a special subject.
