This is bollocks - it's either legal or it's not. And I'm pretty sure bicycles aren't traffic - Oliver S has corrected me on this before, I'm surprised he's not intervened here. I'm also pretty sure this isn't a pavement, it's a shared use path. There is clearly a need for responsible cycling on a shared path, but that shouldn't be a problem.
The problem is these signs are totally counterproductive, as they make pedestrians think that cyclists aren't allowed to cycle along this stretch, when they are.
blue fleet if you do it again tell them it's not legally enforceable and while they are within their rights to ask you to dismount, you aren't going to.
Disgustingly PCSOs ordered a disabled lady off her trike the other day:

Anyone fancy a ride to reassert our right to ride along there?
