Yes, they are mapped as relations. If you want an example, I have been mapping bus routes in Victoria, but also just created routes in Vancouver (22 Knight St) and in Kamloops. As for rendering, you probably could do some sort of hacking on openlayers to display a layer. That is not what the cyclemap stuff is. Andy has done his work via playing with mapnik style sheets, multi-pass rendering and image composition. He gave a talk at SOTM08 about it.
