If they form part of a route (which is what I assume is meant by piste
cyclable), they should be a route relation. The conventional way of
tagging such relations is:
type=route
route=bicycle
network=lcn/rcn/ncn (local/regional/national depending on the scope of
the route)

{I don't like the use of lcn for touring routes, because lcn is also
used for utility routes in towns, and have suggested tcn for touring
routes, but I don't think they're rendered on opencyclemap yet}
