[Closed] RoW question - is pushing or carrying your bike on a footpath legal?

Latest from local RoW officer.

Extract from most recent communication:

"I appreciate you and a number of other cyclists are disappointed by the decision of the Council in this matter. I am though going to ask my colleagues in our Legal Section to consider the entire issue of 'natural accompaniment' in the hope that we can offer some clear guidance on this matter. However as you will appreciate by the comments on the Single Track World Forum this matter is not just a local issue and may take some time to fully resolve".

I'm actually fairly heartened by the response I've had from the Council.

@ SFB - plenty of physical manifestation in my experience!

For the record I cannot recommend that anyone goes near this location with their bike.

Maybe ask him why the route has not been considered for upgrade in the ROWIP, and whether he'll consider adding it to the list for future review?

'natural accompaniment'

Are they worried about 4x4 or MX riders suddenly leaning against their vehicles when caught and saying 'mate I was only pushing it'?

Seriously confused.

I rode past the gate that Pennine posted a picture of on the first page of this thread, and any signs that had been there have been removed.
