bicycle= is applied on roads and paths where cycling is legal, not obvious from other tags and where it is not explicitly designated for cyclists (that would be bicycle=designated).
For a barrier, crossing, entrance and ford, it indicates if it is physically possible for a bicycle to pass. However, if there is a sign that specifies permission, that should be used instead.
bicycle= in combination with a guidepost, map, entrance or charging_station means it is designated for use by cyclists.
Examples
- footway where cycling is legal:
highway=footway+bicycle= - pedestrian road where cycling is legal:
highway=pedestrian+bicycle= - service road where cycling is legal and other vehicles are limited to residents:
highway=service+vehicle=private+bicycle=(bicycle=overridesvehicle=private) - track road with "no access, except authorized personnel, pedestrians and cyclists":
highway=track+access=private+bicycle=+foot=yes(two last tags override general limitation to only private access) - gate that is normally open and wide enough for a cyclist:
barrier=gate+bicycle= - guidepost that is specifically for cyclist:
information=guidepost+bicycle=
Related cases where this tag is not applicable
- cycleway where walking is legal:
highway=cycleway+foot=yes - residential road where cycling is legal:
highway=residential- not tagged explicitly as it is obvious (addingvehicle=yesalso would be pointless) - segregated footway and cycleway tagged on one way
highway=path+bicycle=designated+foot=designated+segregated=yes
