Ithink it's fairly reasonable, it allow the race athletic and not technical. If you consider the cost of travelling to and entering at least 8-10 league events a second bike is hardly a prohibitive cost.
As for the three peaks? Two years ago I saw someone coming off Ingleborough with a broken top tube. Having made the effort to enter and train for the event, it would have been pretty harsh to make him run the entire rest of the event with a bike on his shoulder. I doubt even Rob Jebb would have been able to make the finish on that. As for everyone else, getting across the finish line in a decent time is hard enough without gruelling miles of bike humping on the road and off.
