Current presets in Potlatch gives the user opportunity to set cycleway=no by saying "no bike lanes". This provides little value (we do not map, that there is no traffic crossing, no parking places etc.) and sometimes leads to strange results such as highway=cycleway with cycleway=no.

It is as simple as removing the line:

It's not quite as simple as "we do not map..." - it's sometimes useful to map exceptions like "oneway=no" if there's only one two-way street across town and all the others are one-way, even if we wouldn't normally map "oneway=no" on roads that are by default two-way.

From experience, for sidewalk infrastructure it's actually extremely useful to map "sidewalk=none" to indicate that there isn't a sidewalk somewhere where you couldn't infer that there was or wasn't one. Maybe in some places cycling infrastructure is similar? Perhaps setting "cycleway=none" rather than "no" or changing P2's "unset" text would make it clearer?
