The usual rule is map what you see, not what you think, and in this case it is signed as a bridleway (and is also designated as such). A good rendering would take note of the surface tag when displaying cycle specific information.

I'll try to ride the length of the path some time checking what exactly is signposted. I wonder if cyclestreets assigns different costs to highway=bridleway vs highway=cycleway? It does show them differently in the resulting directions, at least.

Re: [Talk-gb-midanglia] Guided Busway Cycleway
It's signposted as a bridleway (only the northern section), so it is
technically correct. On the basis of map whatbyou see on the ground, thats
a valid change. So long as it have bicycle=yes, and retains the NCN
information, I don't think it matters that much. Oliver is right though,
use by horses is essentially non existent. In visual terms, one might call
it a track, which happens to be designated a bridleway.
The southern section is specifically designated as a cycleway.

I guess the argument is about what the primary use is - and in practice I

I don't recall noticing that the {cycle,bridle}way is actually named on
the ground, so I'm not sure if name= should even be present. Everyone seems
to call it something slightly different anyway, but I don't think I've ever
heard guided busway brideway.

I notice that a relatively new contributor has, in his only day of edits
last month, changed the highway tag from cycleway to bridleway, and the
name from Guided Busway Cycleway to Guided Busway Bridleway for the whole
length of the path from Milton Road to St Ives.
Any thoughts? (see http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/JamieAbbott )
He has actually made an error, in that the last bit of the path through
the St Ives PR is not designated bridleway, it is designated cycleway (the
bridleway goes off north to Meadow Lane).
