bicycle=yes is applied on roads and paths where cycling is legal, not obvious from other tags and where it is not explicitly designated for cyclists (that would be bicycle=designated).
For a barrier, crossing, entrance and ford, it indicates if it is physically possible for a bicycle to pass. However, if there is a sign that specifies permission, that should be used instead.
bicycle=yes in combination with a guidepost, map, entrance or charging_station means it is designated for use by cyclists.
Examples
- footway where cycling is legal: highway=footway + bicycle=yes
- pedestrian road where cycling is legal: highway=pedestrian + bicycle=yes
- service road where cycling is legal and other vehicles are limited to residents: highway=service + vehicle=private + bicycle=yes (bicycle=yes overrides vehicle=private)
- track road with "no access, except authorized personnel, pedestrians and cyclists": highway=track + access=private + bicycle=yes + foot=yes (two last tags override general limitation to only private access)
- gate that is normally open and wide enough for a cyclist: barrier=gate + bicycle=yes
- guidepost that is specifically for cyclist: information=guidepost + bicycle=yes
Related cases where this tag is not applicable
- cycleway where walking is legal: highway=cycleway + foot=yes
- residential road where cycling is legal: highway=residential - not tagged explicitly as it is obvious (adding vehicle=yes also would be pointless)
- segregated footway and cycleway tagged on one way highway=path + bicycle=designated + foot=designated + segregated=yes
