In point of fact I would do neither, because I don’t see the need to
point out particularly suitable biking routes that aren’t officially
designated bike routes.  Any way of doing so would be far too subjective
for my tastes.  But if I really felt a strong need to apply a tag for
some reason, it would be bicycle=yes.
