I thought this would be dead simple but trying to label a road as "bike-friendly" isn't as intuitive as one would hope (am I "adding" a road even though it's technically there or reporting "wrong info" piece by piece?)

I had a feeling this would be the answer. I use OpenStreetMap for projects at work as the API was way easier (and the price made it a much easier sell to management) but hadn't used the mobile app until now but it's quite impressive

Only reservation is a question of whether or not a satellite view is available to check for the presence of sidewalks when not marked

edit: found the Mapillary add-on and 360-only filter. Really can't believe how extensive the coverage is. Sounds like there's no need to settle any longer
