Status: de facto

bicycle=designated is applied where cycling is not only legal, but object is explicitly designated for use by cyclists. Note that in many cases it is not necessary to tag it explicitly as it is implied by highway=cycleway or tags such as cycleway:both=lane.

bicycle=yes is applicable where it is necessary to mark that cycling is legal, but there is no explicit designation for use by cyclists.

Note that signed bicycle route is not something that makes road explicitly designated for use by cyclists and there are cycleways without any signed bicycle route.

Typically bicycle=designated (or highway=cycleway) requires special-purpose traffic signs[1].
