Why should cyclists not be told to dismount if they are entering an
area where cycling is not permitted?

Because they are cyclists.

Wrong answer - it was quite a simple question - any chance of
answering?

I finally worked out what those pointless white bike on a blue
background signs mean, on the way home the other day.

They mean: this pace is lethally slippery, if you try to ride along
here your bike will end up lying flat on the ground covered in ice
and snow.

And as for the numpties who use slippery red paint for the bus links
in Reading instead of red asphalt...

I assumed your question was rhetorical. If it was a genuine question,
the answer is 'No reason'

But ir's still the wrong question.

Hello Guy

Have you found that historical web-site of cyclehelmet.org yet?

You know the one where it said:

"Message: Helmets are not beneficial to cyclists (unless the evidence
forces us to a dramatically different conclusion.)"

I see no signs saying "pedestrian area". The problem is that many
"planners" feel the need automatically to put the CD signs at the end of
marked routes even when most cyclist will simply rejoin the carriageway.

Yet I'm sure you prefer slippery red paint to getting rid of the bus
lanes altogether (many of the bus lanes in Reading are unnecessary,
and the rest of them certainly don't need to be 24/7). Yet another
example of how your hatred of motorists is more important to you than
cyclists' safety.
