But this is only the *general *access rule. Actually from country to country this rule is *restricted or extended* for other means of transportation. I'm well aware that Austria bans bicycles from paths and even tracks (!) in forestry lands by default if not otherwise permitted or signposted. In other parts of the world i.e. in Nepal motorcycles are used and allowed on paths between mountain villages. Legal access restrictions should always be tagged properly on the individual way.
