I'd agree with that.  As a non-cyclist I don't feel somehow 
discriminated against because somewhere that I walk also permits 
cyclists (and horseriders*).

It's also worth mention that outside of England and Wales cycle access 
on what we'd call in the vernacular a "footpath" is sometimes normal 
(e.g. "fietspad" in the Netherlands, which means "Bicycle Path" and is 
often used where we'd say "there's a footpath between A and B").

*Except when you're walking home in the dark and someone's emptied their 
horse all over the middle of the path and you didn't see it until too 
late...
