On public land you can usually push a bike and be treated as a pedestrian, but that's not always the case on private land (eg the University Parks in Oxford) - bicycles are banned altogether.
So there is a distinction, but it can probably be achieved by using bicycle=no for situations where riding is not allowed, and access=private+foot=permissive for situations where bicycles aren't allowed. I've seen bicycle=dismount tags. This is for situations on UK highways where there's a sign saying "Cyclists Dismount" - but in the UK there is no formal offence for disobeying the sign, and most cyclists would treat the sign as meaning "slow down and be careful". This probably ought to be tagged using a different key, since it is probably UK-specific. IMHO the access tags for bicycle need to be expanded to cover the subtleties of bicycle provision/control (see the consolidation talk page for my suggestions), rather than trying to divide paths into a binary footway/cycleway.
