Easy example of that: in the United States, bicycles are forbidden in
federal Wilderness Areas.  It doesn't matter if you're riding the
bicycle, pushing it, or carrying it on your shoulder.  You might be
able to get away with completely disassembling it and carrying the
pieces in your backpack, but I don't know if anyone's tried it.

(People have gotten in trouble from other attempts at getting around
the "no form of mechanical transport" rule, such as climbing out of a
hovering helicopter.)
