I'm curious where you heard about the Class I, II, III designations, though. I'm a California native and occasional bike rider and I've never heard of these. And I'm not sure I've ever seen a Class I cycleway--any separated paths always seem to be shared with pedestrian & other non-vehicle traffic (I would tag the ones I've seen as highway=path, bicycle=designated, foot=designated, etc.). Actually, now that I think about it, the west side of the Golden Gate Bridge might qualify as a "pure" cycleway (it's supposed to be for bicycles only). Karl
