Seems a fair summary.
It is incorrect in parts, however - PCSOs have no powers to stop a cyclist, other than for cycling on a footpath, not obeying traffic signals, traffic directions, having more than one person on a bike, or incorrect lights and reflectors.
Neither do they have the power to issue FPNs for speeding offences, let all e speeding bicycles.
The Parks byelaws is also incorrect - local traffic authorities have no powers to set speed limits for bicycles. Although they regularly do (cf. Richmond Park).
