There are lots of paths that are primarily footpaths, but bikes can go on them. I think that cycleway is best kept for paths that are designed and designated for bicycles. For example in our local park bikes can go on all the paths, but there are some specific divided cycle paths too. (We

I'd support that highway=path needs to be rendered in the cycle map layer, especially now it's becoming clearer how it's being used (for raw paths as you describe them). The dark grey dashed lines in Mapnik seem a good starting point. If path was rendered then the problem kinda goes away - use
