"It is in no way acceptable to let people dismount their bikes" means that people would not be allowed to dismount. You would have a situation where people were required to ride, not walk. What if the bicycle had a flat tire, or was otherwise damaged? If you really meant "it is in no way acceptable to require people to dismount their bikes", what about the real-life situation I described earlier, a narrow footway along one side of a bridge, with a railing only slightly above waist level for a pedestrian? A mounted cyclist would have a high enough center of gravity that, should they collide with the railing, they would likely fall off of the bridge. -- John F.
