Your right nowhere does it say bikes but I never said it did. Where I work “Safety personnel” had made a policy “no bicycles” allowed in any buildings, stating it could cause a potential trip hazard during an emergency such as a fire evacuation. Again that is my local policy.
“ Objects that project into the exit route must not reduce the width of the exit route to less than the minimum width requirements for exit routes”
Objects, I don’t know maybe such as a bicycle???

For an actually citation if someone would violate this would not fall on the owner of the Bike but would go to the owner of the building for not insuring the minimum width requirements were being followed. Of course there would be a process here before something like that would happen. A warning would be first with a re-inspection date set and so on.

Now would I ever enforce such a policy, no because it’s not my job, it is an administrative issue not criminal issue.

When I made the joke about being the policy enforcer it was just that, a joke. Could I get in trouble for choosing to park my bike in my office, yes I could but it would be with my supervisors not with the law.
When I park my personal bike in the morning I park it where my police bike goes
