I'm asking as the data will 'eventually' be available, it already is ok to use for other OpenMaps projects, and it's available for Garmin Devices already. Just needs to be converted. ... and tags need to be matched up :)
If knowone has seen, or gone through the catelogue to match up the features, that's no prob, i'll do that myself :) Cheers, Sam P.S. Ya, I just find it funny about the cyclists. .. here in Victoria, the proprietary map company Davenport Maps Ltd http://www.gvcc.bc.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=11 and so, they are not to excited about a competition map being created that would potentially cut-out from the revenue that these maps generate, which gets put back to the Organization. Fortunately however, the city of Nanaimo has their data for bicycle infrastructure available, so it's easy to convert it to OSM format, and convert to GPX and use it as an overlay and to include the cycleway=lane tag, then convert it to garmin map as an overlay.
