[Tagging] Smooth shoulder intended for cycling

[Masi Master]

For me, it looks like a bicycle-lane. On first look with no sign, so i  
would tag it cycleway=lane + bicycle=yes (<- no designated or official,  
because a OSM-cycleway is for me a way, that is "made for cycling" (with  
no implied access), access can be added with bicycle=*).

But on second look [1], you can see a bicycle symbol, so it is:  
cycleway=lane + bicycle=designated
