The first is a typical "share the road" sign, simply warning drivers
that there may be bikes and that they should follow the laws that
apply to all roads that bikes can use. The second appears to be a
"sharrow" or something like it, again telling drivers that there may
be bikes, but also (hopefully) showing cyclists a safe place to ride
(this is more relevant on busier roads where cyclists may be tempted
to ride too far to the right for their own safety). I wouldn't tag the
former as anything, and the latter might be cycleway=sharrow; of
course if either is part of a marked cycle route it would get the
appropriate *cn tag.
