[OSM-newbies] cycle map rendering

[Thomas Meller]

Is anyone content with the cycle map?

I think it is the most informative map on OSM, but it lacks detail.

Especially due to be made for cyclists, who are capable of using nearly every track, it's use for cycling is questionable.

To know what I mean, look here:
http://osm.org/go/0CcJiX0AK--?layers=00B0FTF
There is a cycleway on the motorway, invisible on this map.
There is a path over the motorway bridge, usable in any direction, not visible here. There are tunnels which you can cross, invisible.
There are paths where you can take your bike with you - restriction to ride it does not mean you cannot use the way - invisible on this map.

I ask myself, what is it's use?

It's topographical
it's detailed
it's rendered with a fine structure
it's the basis for opencyclemap.org
but it's not really usable.

Pity, really.

Is there some engineering on that map still alive?
