Except I don't know if they're at all cyclable, or if I need to take the bike with knobbly tyres, or even if they exist at all. OSM in the US just isn't reliable to that level, whereas it is in Western Europe, and the Australians are also working on the issue. But in the US, I couldn't use OSM for planning a route by hand, let alone with a router, which would merrily send me down the shortest highway=residential with no knowledge of whether it's suitable or not.
For the rural case and accurate route planning, it will take ground truthing to get accurate bike / foot routing - it's probably not something that could be tasked to MapRoulette/etc.
