Walking pushing my bike in a restricted zone

The video evidence shows me at all time pushing my bike at a
time where the area is restricted
For the council it doesn't exempt me from the restriction... are
they right? Is there a way to escape this?

Unfortunately yes. But, let's see the whole of the PCN plus
your representations.

attached is the pcn
and my challenge:
Dear Sir or Madam,
On-line challenge for LJ26486094
On the grounds of:
The contravention did not occur
Reason:
At the time I am supposed to have been in contravention, the
restriction did not apply
Further explanation :
This must have been issue automatically without taking into
account that I stepped of my bike to push it by hand
because of the restriction. However I have done this many time
and I am not sure what was different this time
because it's the first time I receive a PCN for doing that. Also
my children are in the school on this street and I am
very happy that we have this

Walking the motorbike past a "No Motor Vehicles" restriction is
still a contravention, because it is a motor vehicle. If this
was allowed, every motorbike rider would be doing it, and quite
a few (big and fit) car drivers too !

Motor vehicles prohibited (prohibits use of the road by motor
vehicles)
...is what the sign means.
However, ' I stepped of my bike to push it by hand
because of the restriction. However I have done this many time
and I am not sure what was different this time
because it's the first time I receive a PCN for doing that.'
How often have you done this? Exactly the same circumstances?
Any recently before this event?

restricted for school from 8.15am to something like 10.

=> yes many times this year, I bring my children to school and
every time I am after 8.15 I push the bike...well until now, not
taking the risk anymore, but I wonder if I can push on pavement.
No motor vehicle... yes I agree but if we want to play dumb I
can say that there is no proof that my vehicle had a motor at
that time...

Except that if it has a reg. number, and is registered at the
DVLA, it is classed as a motor vehicle. And no, pushing it on
the footway is also banned as the restriction applies to the
road, not just the carriageway.
Sorry to say it, but you seem to be bang-to-rights on this one.

See if the discount's still available* - if so I'd pay it.
If not, then you might as well appeal to the adjudicator.
*- 14 days from date of letter was actually yesterday, 8th.

You have only given us 3 pages of the PCN, I need to see the
fourth one please. It might not quite be compliant.
