Exactly, foot=no doesn't mean that feet are not allowed, it means that
using a mode of transportation that primarily uses feet  ("foot
travel"/walking/running/hiking) isn't allowed.
bicycle=no is consistent with this, it doesn't mean that bicycles are
prohibited, it means that a mode of transportation, (bicycle riding) is
prohibited.
horse=no is apparently a  little different as you point out.  It seems to
refer not just to a mode of transportation, but to the possession of the
animal in general.

I disagree. In both cases, what is prohibited is the horse/bicycle touching the ground.

Based on that, you could argue that bicycle=no means you can *carry*, but not *walk* (push) your bicycle. I would be *tentatively* sympathetic to such an argument... depending on how obnoxious it is for you to be dragging around a bicycle. For something like a foldable, or if is dismantled enough to not be a large, ungainly object, then I would lean toward that being okay (which is where we get into prohibited=bicycle or whatever spelling).

It is similar to dog=no. dog=no doesn't refer to
whether you can use a dog as a mode of transportation, it means you can't
possess a dog at all on the given way (even if you carry it).

*This* is where things become inconsistent :-). Although, as we've noted, in some instances you *can* carry your dog.
