Yes, I agree that my edit changed definition of bicycle=no
on the wiki.

I did it because I am pretty sure that it matches real usage.

Checking bicycle=no vs bicycle=dismount usage,
lack of support for bicycle=dismount in JOSM etc
confirmed this to me.

bicycle=use_sidepath is far more likely to be correct because people
using bicycle=use_sidepath are likely to understand purpose
of this vale

While people using bicycle=no may be utterly unaware that bicycle=dismount
and its planned differences exists

I really hope that my changes actually match how people map.
I am pretty sure about that, but I welcome any comments of whatever
it was a good idea or not.
