6 days ago This is kind of on my todo list quite some time :-) I will look into this soon. Do you have any specific requests which I should consider? What about directions, should I show them as well (considering, that there's a special category for this already)?
Under the Transportation -> Cycling menu, it would be helpful to have an option to display ALL cycleways in a similar fashion to how all footways are displayed under the Transportation -> Walking -> Footways menu. Currently, only Cycle Routes are displayed which neglects any cycleways that are not part of a designated route relation. The Footways menu will display cycleways if they have the Allowed Access tag foot=yes/designated, but if there is a cycleway with the foot= tag not specified and it is not part of a cycle route relation, it will not show up in either the Footways or Cycle Routes menus.
Proposed solution: Add a menu under Transportation -> Cycling to display all cycleways, similar to how the Footways menu operates under Transportation -> Walking.
Another possible solution would be to modify the Cycle Routes menu to display all cycle ways, but I see value in having a menu option that only displays Cycle Routes.
I frequently use OpenStreetBrowser to identify areas where footways and cycleways are not well mapped in order to improve pedestrian routing and I've come across this shortfall a few times. Here is an example of one such case: https://www.openstreetbrowser.org/#map=18/39.06248/-76.96341&basemap=osm-mapnik&categories=footways,cycle_routes
