Why? The suggestion that all the places that properly tagged bicycles=no now 
need to be revisited and have a new dismounted_bicycles=no tag added implies 
that the people who took “no” to mean something other than “no” prevail and the 
rest of us have to go back and re-tag things.

Since many miles/kilometers of ways will need to be retagged either way, why 
not go with the straight forward “no means no” and “dismount means dismount”? 
Makes a lot more sense to me that “no only really means no if there is an 
additional dismounted_bicycle=no” tag too.

Cheers!
