+1, that's the point: tag the exception, and not bicycle=no on every
other piece of motorway. At least for  motorways this should be
easiely possible, while for the other roads it might be impossible to
define satisfying world wide default standards (thus requiring
explicit tagging, which at least has the advantage that it isn't
complex, it's simple also to newbies, it's unambigous, doesn't require
external information like the wiki, ... - the default standard could
be "yes" for all transport means in the actual medium (boat=yes on a
primary road doesn't make sense and motorcycle=yes on a river
neither)).
