Hi Adam

Interesting to see your thoughts below in relation to Victoria. 

My point all along has been bikes are not permitted on footy paths used signed 
as allowed or should it be a shared path instead?

In which case is there a preference in using footpath with the tags 
highway=footway  + bicycles=yes as you have indicated below
or a should be be shared path where bikes=designated ?

Visually it’s much easier to see a shared path rather than to review the tags 
for permissions. 

regards,

Sebastian
