I do not know what you actually want to do, but this sounds kind
of dangerous.  By all means, do not misuse keywords introduced
and well established for different purposes.  Always try to tag
in a backwards compatible manner.

highway=cycleway is in use for... cycleways.

highway=cycleway is already rendered, though.  If you use the same
tagging for a mountain bike "cycleway", confusion is guaranteed ;)
Avoid hijacking ;)
