Maybe if you put a default_name on them (default_name=service) you can read from the label what kind of road it is.
Adding the default_name bloats my gmapsupp.img of Finland by about 70k and the zip compressed gmapsupp.img by about 80k. I would use default_name sparingly in the default style, because it is not a localized string. A better alternative to default_name would be to omit the default_name and define the default name for the line type in the TYP file, for every language supported by Garmin. I think that it should suffice that the access flags prevent motor vehicles from those 0x07 that are cycleways. Usually highway=service are short, and only used as the very first or last leg of the route.
Type 0x07 is actually a pretty good one because it's a thinner solid line than the residential streets but it is not dashed like paths and footways.
On the Edge 705, 0x07 and 0x16 look identical, but they are distinguished in the navigation instructions: alley vs. trail. Best regards, Marko
