That is how I've always used it in urban areas.

There was discussion about this on talk-au (which I'm unable to find 
with a quick search), and it was noted that legally cycling may be 
permitted on unsigned paths that are not next to roads. I don't remember 
a clear definition being given on when cycling on is permitted on these 
paths not next to roads which makes tagging them difficult. Can anyone 
else clarify this?
