So to mark that a road has a cycle lane, you'd add the tag cycleway=lane. Do have a look at www.opencyclemap.org - a wonderful rendering of OSM data, pulling out all the cycle-centric information, updated weekly. You might even decide that campaigning for better directions on Google is less likely to be fruitful than improving OSM's coverage. :) To mark cycling facilities on OpenStreetMap, you use two-part ‘tags’ – as with anything else on OSM.
