Not everything needs to be machine-parsed, but if following the law
puts cyclists in danger (they have to ride in the door zone, for
example) we could use a different tag (cycle_danger=yes?).
cycle_hazard would be more for "this might be bad if you're a
beginning cyclist and think the bike lane/gutter will protect you".

Which everyone but you agrees that you're misusing (tagging streets on
which cycling is legal and safe with bicycle=avoid just because they
lack bike lanes or shoulders).
