as there is a restriction OSM would use a conditional tagging .. not just 'bicycle=yes'.  Possibly:

access=no

foot=yes

bicycle:conditional=yes @ (max_age=13)


There is also the case that an adult can accompany a child... in NSW, possibly in other places too.


No I'm not tagging what should be a default value.

I see that cyclists up to the age of 13 are permitted on footpaths in
Victoria, so technically, "bicycle=yes" is true, but to be pedantic, some
age restriction should be added.  I would have thought the default position
should be that bicycles are permitted.

My guess is that the other user does not ride a bike and does not like
bicycles sharing his/her path, and is on a bit of a crusade and no reasoning
or logic will be adequate to stop their mapping activities.

Hi
I have been monitoring the edits by a user who still "changes shared paths
to
footpaths as no signs present to indicated bikes are permitted" in
Victoria
Australia.

Most of these changes are small ways where there are unlikely to be
serious
consequences, its not worth the petrol (or electricity in this case for my
Nissan Leaf) to go out and inspect the way and I have said nothing.

I have commented on way 1008258040 in Changeset: 126886850 where
bicycle=yes by the previous editor has been removed because there were
"no signs present to indicated bikes are permitted"

There is good street level imagery. It is not a footpath in the sidewalk
sense.
It looks OK for bicycles to me. Sorry to bother but I request a clear
community consensus again on whether "no signs present to indicated bikes
are permitted" is of itself  sufficient evidence that bicycles are
disallowed.
Sorry to bother you all
Tony
