If it is a signed cycle route (with the exception of a short section  
where cyclists need to dismount), or there is signage to allow  
cyclists to use that, then it should be highway=cycleway; foot=yes,  
with an optional segregated=yes if there is a line or kerb for  
cyclists and pedestrians to be kept apart.
