If it helps you sleep better, presume that riding on a bike-prohibited footpath actually means dismounting and walking with the bike :) IMHO many places that the maps will say bikes aren't allowed will actually be grey areas. It's perfectly appropriate to leave that decision to the user, with appropriate caveats. (Pretty easy to do: the cue sheet can say "Note: This section is not marked as legal for bicycles. Please respect your local laws.") Steve PS Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I'm not some kind of biking hoon. I don't advocate riding at high speed through pedestrian-frequented areas, on footpaths etc. I'm more interested in finding places to ride that people hadn't thought of, rather than using paths that have been explicitly ruled out.
