   I think the appeal to local mappers to pitch in with the new bike 
route relation definitions is part of the logic here.    For example, I 
already am familiar with the roads of one of the theoretical future bike 
routes in my area.    There's a good chance that a local mapper in that 
state already knows part or all of the roads in the official bike route.

  [  Of course, I'm not putting anything in OSM since it's not even 
under any sort of official development yet.   But if it were, I would be 
able to evaluate the official route definitions against my knowledge of 
the roads. ]
