Hi - did you go through the Automated Edits code of conduct for this change? (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct)
I haven't seen notification of it anywhere and it's broken cycle.travel's rendering :(

I'm not convinced there's rendering issues with the LCN network at . I've not seen their map before, but the LCN network currently renders as blue/green dots and light blue labels on their map.
The cycle_network tag that I introduced was changed 2 months after an update of the Wiki page for cycle_network ('https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:cycle_network&diff=1849158&oldid=1846536') pointed out that I should have used the UK’s ISO country code of GB, not UK. The Wiki update had been changed to show 'cycle_network=GB:London Cycle Network' for 2 months and I had discussed this with the other mapper who used this cycle_network for LCN routes.
My inkling is that your issue with cycle.travel's rendering is that it uses the colour value used in e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6230031 to render the colour of the Cycle Superhighways. This previously was in Barclay's darker blue colour even though the official colour has been Santander's red for around 4 years. This colour clashes with the NCN routes' shade of red. But this is the correct official colour for Cycle Superhighway, as documented at http://content.tfl.gov.uk/tfl-colour-standards-issue04.pdf. The upcoming rebrand to Cycleways is likely to change the official colour but it hasn't yet been announced, although the first Cycleway signs (on C31) are a shade of lime green.

Thanks for the reply! I can certainly confirm that cycle.travel doesn't use those colour values as I run the site. :) It uses universal values for ncn, rcn, lcn and icn routes.
The issue is that I deliberately _don't_ want to render London Cycle Network routes, because they are inconsistently signed; no guarantee of a good route; in many places have been superseded; and serve to clutter the map. The code to exclude these routes looked for the value "UK:London Cycle Network"... which now doesn't work.
There is an automated edits policy for a reason - you can't expect every data consumer to monitor changes on n thousand wiki pages, particularly for sites which operate across many cities or countries. Note that the policy expressly says "it is not acceptable to cite using the wiki as justification for widespread changes to the data without appropriate consultation".
Usually I would revert the changeset, but in this case the damage has already been done and there's probably no benefit to doing so. But please do note that you have to follow the automated edits policy for any future edits like that.
