That may not be the case in the UK. The law allows walkers and their "usual accompaniments" along public footpaths. It's generally agreed that (for example) a car is not a "usual accompaniment", so you can't push a car along a public footpath. It is unclear whether or not a bike is. CTC (the Cyclists' Touring Club) thinks it is, many local councils disagree. That said, for routing purposes in the UK, I treat bicycle=no the same as bicycle=dismount, because in reality the tag is often used on paths where cycling is tolerated. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Usefulness-of-bicycle-dismount-on-ways-tp5780527p5780567.html Sent from the Tagging mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
