I'm a bit bemused by your reply which seems irrelevant:
You weren't talking about /all /commuters, just cyclists. It's you who 
wants all roads other than those for cyclists removed.
Therefore my previous comments.

I'm fully aware of how complete urban areas are mapped.
When people read a map they need information about what is come up ahead 
of & around them. As I said before, this includes info other than just 
cycle routes.
