You would need a special tag to mark which interpretation is used and resurvey all bicycle=no cases. And at that point it is easier to have a new tag for rare "no bicycle at all in addition to forbidding cycling" At that point it is easier to simply invent a new tag for "no bicycle pushing". (bicycle_pushed=no, bicycle_pushing=no and bicycle_possession=no were proposed) And I think at every point in OSM history, as bicycle=dismount was a duplicate of bicycle=no > The wiki is unsure about the exact meaning, the bicycle=* page says it is > about restrictions for bicycles while the access page (older) says it is > about restrictions for cyclists. IMHO the most common interpretation is > legality of cycling/riding a bicycle. > ""
