Cycle law: definition of Dismounting Some area requires you to dismount your bicycle. So what is the exact definition of dismounting your bicycle? Can you just simply dismount from your bike seat, but keep one foot on the pedal to propel the bike forward? Or do you have to completely dismount and walk the bicycle?

By definition, dismount means to get off the bicycle. That means you should not be straddling the top tube, but should be standing next to the bicycle. Then, you can walk the bike if needed. This is the safest bet, and the one you should use unless you have additional information.

You shouldn't just get off the seat and pedal with one foot or waddle, unless you have additional information that says its okay in that area.
