[Tagging] Usefulness of bicycle=dismount on ways

[Jonathan]

Wow, Oxford's parks sound a fun place to be! Not! ;-)

On a more serious note, I would have thought tagging this one: 
http://cycle.st/p17860 would be straight forward because no pedestrian 
and no bicycle also means no pushing a bicycle.  You gotta wonder who 
can use he gate? :-)

But thanks Stephen for the heads up on such tough restrictions on bike 
users in the UK, have never seen anything so extreme.  But then I've not 
been to Oxford for about 20 years!
