because it was simply presumed that foot=yes + bicycle=no meant the same<br>
thing -- the assumption of a very bicycle-friendly culture!<br>
<br>
The obvious problem with bicycle=closed is that it's rarely used so<br>
routing software will probably not be looking for it, and so will<br>
happily send bicycles along bicycle=closed ways. In fact, I wanted to<br>
test some routers but I can't find a single bicycle=closed way currently<br>
tagged on the whole map.<br>
<br>
The other subtler problem is that it might be possible to<br>
confuse"bicycle=closed" with"bicycle=folded" especially for non-native<br>
English speakers.<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That was a value deprecated by 2008 (or a typo on the wiki). See my other answer from 2008 that already uses `bicycle=no`.</div><div><br></div><div> </div></div></div>
