How about
cycle_route=
{national,regional,local,national_link,regional_link,local_link} I'm
adding links, as there are often short sections of cycle way between
residential areas or the rest of the road network and the main part
of the cycle way.
cycle_route_ref=number
cycle_route_url=link to an official site about the specific route for
example http://www.sustrans.org.uk/default.asp?sID=1099664999015 If
there is descriptions of the route multiple urls could be given
through a ; or , separator.
cycle_route_org={sustrans, nationalbyway, etc} Not sure about this
one just now, though could do with some changes.
This should hopefully be generic enough for other countries too.
