If pushing a bicycle is permitted on most footways, but not all, it would be useful to tag the distinction, so that a rider planning which route to take will know that they can't go through a particular foot-only shortcut by dismounting and pushing the bicycle.  This would also allow renderers to distinguish foot-only ways vs. foot and foot-while-pushing-a-bicycle ways.
