The following style file worked for me.  All the roads had the names
from the route:

<<<version>>>
0
<<<relations>>>
type=route & route=bicycle {
    apply {
        set xroute=xy;
        set route_ref='${route_ref}';
        set name='${name}';
    }
}
<<<lines>>>
xroute=xy [0x1 resolution 16]

There are problems if a piece of road is part of two routes then you only
get to see one name, and of course it clobbers the name of the road.
I can see it would be useful, but unwieldy, to have a way of combining
lots of different partial names together, but thats not possible at the moment.
