There are wilderness trails where no wheels are allowed. When
campers move through the area with a bicycle, they must pack the bicycle
on their back along with their supplies.
I will say that bicycle=dismount is useful for routing instructions,
which give explicit dismount instructions. Sure this is tagging for
the router, but what better way to convey this to map data consumers?
For example
