If you use highway=path and not highway=footway, then you should also add 
foot=yes (or even foot=designated if appropriate).
If I understand correctly
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=path
adding a bicycle=yes to a highway=path means that only bicycles are allowed 
(whereas highway=path alone would mean "any non-motorized vehicle").
