Wiki says
bicycle <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:bicycle> yes
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:bicycle%3Dyes> Where bicycles
are permitted, overriding default access (such as to motorways that
permit bicycles as commonly found in western parts of North America)
bicycle <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:bicycle> designated
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:bicycle%3Ddesignated> Where a
way has been specially designated
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:access%3Ddesignated>(typically
by a government) for bicycle use
So in the example 'designated' is not an option as there are no signs
indicating that bicycles are allowed on this footway.
'yes' is probably wrong as there is no obvious permission and in
England and Wales Highways Act 1835 s72 'If any person shall wilfully
ride upon any footpath or causeway by the side of any road made or set
apart for the use or accommodation of foot passengers;' . . .a penalty.
So in the absence of any evidence - no bicycles.
In practice it is customary to ride a bicycle and no one is bothered
unless inconvenience or damage is caused. But how to mark this in OSM?
Change the meaning of 'yes' to include customary use?

I'm of the view that if it is fundamentally a footway then it should
be tagged as highway=footway. If bicycles are allowed, then add
bicycle=designated.
If the question is here:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.545389,-0.2770973,3a,75y,234.69h,79.34t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s_-EkidXXQeWqPY5KfXGmaQ!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo2.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3D_-EkidXXQeWqPY5KfXGmaQ%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D96.41411%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656
then this is just a footpath across a bit of grass that someone has
decided to allow bikes on. Looks like a footway, rides like a footway,
tag like a footway

There's a misconception that highway=cycleway implies an automatic authority over
other path users. This is untrue It's just a hierarchy of the number of different
transport modes permitted to use it. Similarly, highway=residential permits motor
vehicles as well as bicycles & pedestrians.Who has right of way is specific to
certain locations.
If it's definitely designated as cyclable (I couldn't see any signs in GSV)
then I'd tag it as
highway=cycleway
bicycle=designated
foot=designated
segregated=no
surface=asphalt (in this case)
width=*
If you know it's a public footpath add:
designation=public_footpath
If you know the footpath's reference add:
prow_ref=*
Is there a reason you tagged it as access=no?
The only place a rider of a bicycle should go full speed is in a velodrome.

Is there established tagging for a tarmac path that is ~1.5m wide, but
designated foot and cycles shared?
Eg: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/871919974
There's highway=cycleway | cycleway=shared, but when you're on it it doesn't
feel like one, and you can't go full speed. But maybe that's the best tag
nonetheless?
Thanks.
