This is moronic beyond belief.

This is especially bizarre as other reports on this forum indicate that some police think cyclists should ride on the footpath, since it's too obviously dangerous to ride on the road.

So the logical extension of this is: Ride your bike on the footpath, but if you need to dismount and push it, you should be on the road.

If some cop tried this with me, I would not hesitate to shout back at him in no uncertain terms exactly how wrong he is, and then take it up further with his superiors.
