Two points:<br><br>1. The terminology "foot=designated" and "bicycle=designated" is confusing, since the opposite of "designated" is not "no" but "undesignated" or "non-designated". Just leave it as it is on thousands of ways as "bicycle=yes" or "no" and "foot=yes" or "no". There is no need for a change.<br>
<br>2. The idea that every way on which bicycles are permitted should be designated cycleway implying it is primarily for bicycles, is, in my opinion either hopeful, naïve or arrogant. If you read, for example, the extract from the Australian Road Rules for "Australian separated footpath" it is clear that the correct designation is "footpath" and not "cycleway". Leave well alone or you will bring the wrath of the gods down on OSM.<br>
