Martin, your statement here is the same as the one which fly used to
start this thread, and a few of us in the UK have pointed out that
there is indeed a difference between two situations, both of which
occur often:
* cycling AND pushing a cycle are forbidden (which, UK-based, I
consider bicycle=no)
* cycling BUT NOT pushing a cycle is forbidden (which, UK-based, I
consider bicycle=dismount)

The problem is that different groups of people have interpreted
bicycle=no differently. That's the problem that this thread should
address, if it achieves anything. But it is not helpful when you
assert "there is really no difference in meaning".

Best
Dan
