I forgot another two pro distinct geometry:

4. consistency. There is a general rule that separate carriageways should
be mapped separately. Why would we do it everywhere but on cycleways?

5. ideology. Why would we prefer cars, lorries and motorbikes over
bicycles? We could just as well map the road as an attribute of the
cycleway. road=track on a highway=cycleway. This would make it easier for
renderers to get the distance between the road and the cycleway right and
could help prevent overlapping cycleways and roads.


Yes, there are arguments for both ways of mapping, but as long as we don't
prefer one over the other, mappers will edit back and forth without much
sense.

Cheers,
Martin
