Sometimes pushing bicycles is explicitly forbidden. 

It is highly conceivable that some rules, in some territories, apply to
the bike as a vehicle, whereas others apply to the activity. Spot the
difference between "no cycles" and "no cycling". If the rule says "no
cycles", I guess that means you can't push it either. 

Is it allowed to push a bicycle through a red traffic light, or the
wrong way down a one-way street? You are not cycling, but it is still a
vehicle. In the UK the law applies to "vehicular traffic" including
someone who is "driving or propelling a vehicle" and fines have been
issued...
