"bicycle:lanes=no|designated" doesn't seem correct because there are certain situations (at least in Germany) where you may use the "car" lane as a cyclists. Most notable for turning purposes or when the cycle lane is impassable. (The last argument probably falls under the "use your brain" category.) But it's still the same issue use_sidepath has been invented for. So 
highway=*
cycleway=lane
bicycle:lanes=use_sidepath|designated
vehicle:lanes=yes|no
is "better" but still not good.
