Surely that is just highway=foot, bicycle = no?  Or are you talking
about sidewalks that are implied, not actually mapped?

Either way, make sure you only use it where it is actually the case.
Where I live, it is entirely legal to ride on any footpath unless it
is specifically signed otherwise (rare), or there is "a parallel
dedicated bike path" (even rarer). You may think that people shouldn't
ride on the paths, but we don't map opinions.
