A Dutchman posted a map of the main cycle routes in Utrecht, and I asked why it looked so different to OSM/OCM http://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2012/04/23/looking-down-on-cyclists/
Q: Why does the map above look different to what’s in OpenStreetMap? http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.0924&lon=5.1317&zoom=12&layers=C A: The map here shows only those routes the city thinks are main routes. In reality there are far more routes and far more streets with cycling infrastructure (almost all major streets) as you can see in OpenStreetMap. The few red lines you see in OpenStreetMap are the national cycle routes but they have nothing to do with main routes in the city. "the national cycle routes ... have nothing to do with main routes in the city" Obviously, OCM can render what it likes, but I think this neatly illustrates that OSM tagging of cycle routes is missing a trick or two.
