@Clockwise (sorry, forgot to reply to your specific post)
The law isn't perfectly clear cut, it takes case law to make specific points clearer as to what is allowed and what isn't and even then the result isn't always clear.
Pushing a bike past such a sign being illegal may seem silly, but where is the corresponding 'Cycling now allowed' sign? If you walked past that sign without a bike and then someone handed you a bicycle, are you allowed to cycle? It's easy to construct such absurdities and there are plenty of things we just take for granted without explicit guidance.
So, given that sign and the wording of the law, do you think it's legal to push your bike past that sign and then, once past the sign, remount and cycle on?
