In Germany (Berlin at least) you're likely to get angrily belled at if you 
stray into the cycle path as a pedestrian. Virtually all cycle paths are this 
way, and there are quite a lot of them (most major streets).

That said, I am not aware of a case where there are cycle-only paths with no 
adjacent footpath or sidewalk.

Possibly it is better to remove implication relationships amongst tags. 
Cycling is one thing, appropriateness of feet is another, no?
