I think you'd need to ban insurers too.
Duty of care is a bit complicated, but, hippy, if for example your company had given you the bike you ride in in (or more likely a car) they become responsible (effectively) for making sure that you don't injure yourself or other people in it! Because if you do have an accident a clever lawyer will argue it's the companies fault you were driving without a licence/due care/etc, even if it was on the way to work! It is possible that a badly set up cycle to work scheme could fall foul of a similar action.
In fact even without that, if for example dancing James work knew he was riding into work and that he was a liability on the road they could ask him to stop to at least show they'd tried to protect the public from him, although in reality they wouldn't actually be able to ban him from cycling in (in the same way this school can't really) but they've got to show they've tried to help to make sure they don't get sued by some drivers family that dj clubs to death...
