I have to agree with Simon. I don't see any reason to do a hasty retagging of all cycling routes unless there is a strong agreement among active Swiss mappers to do so. At least find out who is looking after cycling routes at the moment and contact them so that you don't start an edit war.
I've done some clean up of the routes, but I don't believe that anybody could or should be looking after the routes alone (it -is- a crowd sourced project after all).
In any case I just wanted to point out that Beni wrote a script accessing his XAPI server that dumps out all* cycle routes in Switzerland in a format similar to what we have manually added to the wiki.
http://osm.xiala.net/cycle/routes.php
* some of the super relations are missing because they don't seem to be included in the extract that the DB is based on.
I've fixed most of the errors, including numerous routes with neither a name nor a ref tag (which kind of makes a route relation pointless :-)).
The script is also very useful to see if somebody is currently working on a route and hasn't entered it in the wiki yet (since the cyclemap is constantly out of date you can't rely on a visual check).
