Hi,
Some people prefer the cycleway=* tags and even remove the separate highway=cycleway.Others prefer the detail of separate highway=cycleway and remove the cycleway=* tags.Which means that at some places the separate cycleways appear, disappear, reappear, redisappear etc.So what are the opinions about cycleways these days? Or is this all there is to say about it:
"There are two ways to model cycle tracks. One possibility is to draw separate ways along the roadway which are tagged as highway=cycleway. The alternative is to add a cycleway=track tag to the existing way. Both methods each have their pros and cons. Notably, a separately tagged cycleway generally allows to capture more detail, while adding a single tag to an existing way takes much less time and in many cases can be as accurate. Both methods are in use today, and there is discussion about when to prefer which method."

Regards,
StijnRR
