    Original 1997 legislation here
    Amended 2004 here

    Original wording is

    'Speeds at which vehicles may be driven or ridden on a Park road'

    I would guess their argument is that a bicycle is a ridden vehicle. Here (a website in association with the royal parks) there is

    speed limits on the park roads apply to pedal cycles as well as other vehicles

    I know there's been plenty of argument, but as its covered under a different piece of legislation than public roads it is a very grey area. I guess someone needs to challenge it and set a precedent!

    Edit: Slater and Gordon have a piece here that backs up that interpretation of the Royal Parks bylaws.

  • Isn't there also the problem with determining the speed of the bicycle- something about the speed guns not being calibrated for bikes. (might be talking out of my arse)
