I think that it has to be done on a case-by-case basis. If there is a
lesser road nearby, then the default (bicycle=no) is OK. If there is no
other practical choice or there is only light traffic on the road, then
bicycle=yes makes sense. I would say that bicycle=no is a sensible
default for highway=trunk.
By the way, at least in Finland, many cycleways are still missing,
especially outside cities. There are some cycleways along some trunk
roads, close to more densely inhabited areas.
