So THAT'S why I see so many people on BSOs around my local Morrisons.

Mystery solved

I'm not sure what point you are making, but that sign is diagram 951 and means that cycling is prohibited.

Sense of humour failure

TC, it's a well known fact that all the best, most convenient and most used cycle routes are marked with the prohibitory sign. There's no point in prohibiting routes that cyclists don't want to use.

I'd never thought of it like that but it's so true!

The application of TRO's (ie prohibiting cycling) is a very blunt instrument. TRO's can be imposed in very flexible ways that wouls still aloow for cycle access at appropriate times.

Take seafront promenades. Often cycling is banned. arguably necescary on busy summer days (tho I see little reason not to have shared use) but is it really needed on a quiet autumn morning when the route would be ideal for cycling to work?

Prohibition of cycling on the pavement should be the exception rather than the rule

Who are you and what have you done to KTM690?

ISTR one town that made a good cycle network by replacing Red Bicycle signs with Blue ones.
