This explains why I can't route from my house to work, where at each end 
there is no local cycle route, and there are several small bits in the 
middle where you cannot route over. This is either due to me not having 
bothered to split the way, or as you say, there is a break in the relation.

It would be really cool if you could have an edit permalink so that you 
can edit the data on the openstreetmap web site.

Would it be possible for you to have a different marker for the start 
and end?

Finally I was initially expecting a routing system that would prefer 
cycle routes, however this makes an excellent data validation/testing tool.
