I don't think this would be a good idea. Places where you aren't allowed to
push your biycle are rare, places where you may push them but may not cycle
much more common. Given that they now both have bicycle=no, it would be
much more logical to have something special for "you may not even walk with
your bicycle here" than for "you may walk your bicycle but not cycle".
