    right though, use by horses is essentially non existent. In visual

It does render differently (I know, don't tag for the renderer, but it
seems reasonable for a renderer to infer the primary use from the
highway tag)
If you're on a road bike you'd usually want to avoid anything that shows
up as a brideway .. Taking a bike down
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/52724259 was interesting :)

Indeed, but it's a rather subjective approach. The usual rule is map what you see, not what you think, and in this case it is signed as a bridleway (and is also designated as such). A good rendering would take note of the surface tag when displaying cycle specific information.
