Playing about with cycle.travel now that I have the OS maps option. I spotted that part of this route is marked as a footpath on c.t. but on OSM it seems to be more correctly described as Unmaintained Track Road. Strange!

In OpenStreetMap it’s just described as a track (highway=track) with foot access (foot=yes). There’s no indication that bikes are allowed on it, so c.t thinks you need to push.

If bikes are allowed, then the best thing to do is to tag it as such in OSM – then c.t will pick that up on the next update.
