Hey 
, when looking at OSM around where I am, it seems to know very well what streets offer secure bike paths. Yet when I ask for directions (I’ve tried all the different bike maps/routers), I am unable to find an option to requests directions maximizing those secure paths and it inevitably offers me to ride on streets not offering good bike paths. Am I missing something here or is there a piece missing to allow something like this to exist?
The routing options on openstreetmap.org are mostly provided for mappers to use to debug connectivity. They are not as advanced as a dedicated cycling router using OSM data.
You may want to look at Brouter, RideWithGPS, Komoot, cycle.travel (disclaimer - my site), or many other sites for a more fully featured cycle routing experience, all of which are built on OSM data.
@Richard Thank you very much for your reply. I’ve tested a lot of them and actually cycle.travel has the best suggestions I think 
I wish it didn’t suggest to use “Rue de Provence” in Paris, which is awful (but for some reason this street is recommended in many places). Screenshot below. Is there a way to maximize the paved paths? I noticed the “Paved” option at the top maximizes the paved roads but not necessarily the secured paved paths. Also I very much appreciated the “Find Alternative” option and even wish it could offer even more alternatives so I can find more possible routes. I like it very much.
Edit: I have posted here on the cycle.travel forums, as it is a more appropriate place for my questions about the site.
