That's an utterly terrible set of tags _unless_ you also specify a surface tag. highway=cycleway is, by default, a way whose construction standards are "good enough to ride a bike on". Great! I can route along it. highway=path doesn't provide that assurance. It just says "this is a path of some sort". highway=path, bicycle=yes might be a wonderful paved path. It might also be a 50cm-wide cliff-edge path where, by some freak of legislation, you're permitted to ride along there. To your death. (There are lots of mountain paths in Scotland that would qualify for that. No-one would tag them as highway=cycleway. But bikes are technically permitted.) If you tag trails with "highway=path, foot=yes, horse=yes, bicycle=yes" and nothing else, you are royally screwing up routing. Please don't.
