Today Richmond park bans cyclists without NHS badge (under 12 yo OK)
The rumour is that it's to do with congestion at the gates and people not maintaining 2m distance as they queue to get through (the pedestrian gates are slow enough as a pedestrian let alone trying to get a bike through). Pedestrians are bad but the sheer numbers if you allow cyclists make it way worse, so cyclists get banned.
I believe that they're looking at solutions for keeping the main gates open enough for cyclists to get through but preventing cars using the park. If they sort something out it's likely to reopen to cyclists next week some time.
