Yeah, I checked and that was the setup I had before I'd changed it to use Automobile. Interesting to read in your link
"You can also use a different “cut” of the OSM maps that you download yourself (see here for a guide on how to get them) should you need an area not covered by the included map, you have issues with it or would rather a map that didn’t include cyclepaths (in which case select Generic Routable as the map type)."

Yeah, using built-in maps.
So I've got Routing Mode: Road Cycling,
Calculation Method: Minimize Distance,
Lock on Road: On
Recalculation: Prompted
For Avoidance Setup, I've got Major Highways, Toll Roads, Unpaved Roads and Narrow Tracks all activated.
Give something like that a go. On the 810 I used to use automobile mode (or it would try and make me use tiny cycle lanes), but the road cycling mode on the 1000 hasn't done the same to me yet. I don't use nav on the unit every single day, but when I have done so it's suggested a good route and not sent me down stupid roads.
This guy has also written a guide about navigation with the 1000, and his settings seem to be similar to mine: http://www.forgot.co.uk/garmin-edge-navigation/garmin-edge-1000/
