This sounds similar to those that suggested adding oneway=no to all streets that are not explicitly tagged as oneway=yes. All roads without cycleways could conceivably be tagged this way. Unless there is some cause for such a tag, for example, noting that a cycleway once existed here but is no longer present, this tag is totally unnecessary and adds needless data to OSM.
