I'm not sure if the people contributing to the discussion page are on this
list, but there were a couple of issues (I'm paraphrasing here):

* It's better to use relations than ways for cycle routes.
* What is a Sydney cycle route?

Interestingly in Sydney, most local cycle routes don't take you from A to B,
but rather they are a series of interconnected roads/paths/cycleways
suitable for cycling. Is that the case for other cities in Australia?

My memory of Canberra is that most cycle paths are also a series of
interconnected ways rather than a single route from A to B.

>From some reading on the web it seems that Perth certainly has named
regional routes (a step ahead of Sydney there).
