I don't believe permission is needed to ride a bicycle.

Perhaps its time to ban bicycles from all roads where the national
speed limit applies, not just motorways.

Major problem - single track country lanes are NSL, even if the
practical limit is often just 25mph; for the cross country traveller

Good point. Perhaps just a ban from dual carriageways then where vehicles
routinely manage the NSL.

there are major A roads with sections that genuinely have no minor road
alternative.

There are always alternatives, it just depends how much of a detour you're
willing to take.

There is a matter of reasonableness. 30 miles to avoid a mile or two
between two junctions can hardly be considered reasonable. Particularly
when a road gets built or upgraded which cuts off past access.
