No to motorway, a motorway is a divided, limited access highway, 
distinct from other types of highway.   Trunk is ambiguous, it wouldn't 
bother me if it was removed.

The wiki for cycleway, the 1st line:
"The highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=cycleway 
tag indicates a separate way for the use of cyclists. "
All of the example pictures show a paved path or track.
IMHO, A rough dirt trail, used by several user groups should not be 
tagged as a cycleway.
