I have started using bicycle dismount mainly on nodes like pedestrian crossings (where by law you have to dismount) and bicycle barriers (to indicate that the obstacle forces you to dismount, unless you are an acrobat). Occasionally I have used it on ways where bicyckles need to be pushed, like very narrow footpaths along busy highways (typically between guard rails) or on narrow foot bridges, to indicate that it is extremely dangerous to ride a cycle there. But I admit that this is in a certain way mapping for the router.
