Where will Google get the information from?
Unless it is published and can be purchased or bought from a very few number of suppliers I cannot see it happening. Google do not create headcount happy solutions that require lots of effort to produce and maintain, they license data and work out how to integrate that data and then make it available en masse.
So, for the UK (which is already a small market and would require a lot of effort) what is the one supplier that holds all cycle lane information in a database? Can't think of one? Me neither. Sustrans are the most sane bet, because we all know that local authorities would have poor data in inconsistent formats. Sustrans are mapping cycle facilities nationally as are other organisations (rosie's boyfriend does this as a freelance gig, mapping and documenting cycle facilities)... but this is incomplete and still being done, and once done will be out of date and need a way of being refreshed.
I like the motives behind the petition, but just like having cycle specific GPS routing the reason why it doesn't exist isn't a lack of will on the creators of things like GPS devices and Google Maps, but the lack of data held in consistent formats that they would require to implement them.
It would be better to petition local authorities to work with Sustrans and other groups to help create that data than to lobby Google to do something that they will find impossible without the data available.
