Well, in Nederland many cycleways are soft-surfaced. Tracktype 2 or 3 would apply, if they were tracks. In urban areas people tend to dump layers of asphalt on any public path, of course. But unpaved cycleways are not exceptional, and I have seen and used them in other European countries as well. Usually they allow pedestrians and horses, so a lot of those may be tagged highway=path.
