As any cyclist here will confirm, road-closures don't apply to them
(when on their bikes).

Depends on what the road is closed for. In most cases that I've seen a
cyclist does not impede any road works etc and can easily dismount and
walk around the works. A car/lorry or bus can't do that.
It's all down to common sense really.

Where is justice Lee? This poor cyclist needs his counsel.

Maybe Nugent never realised that a bicycle can be taken through a gap a
person can get through. I have been let through closures by the police.

A curious story. If the police were there and really didn't want anybody
or anything through (for reason other than gap) it seems a bit odd they
didn't turn the person away, rather than complaining about it later.

That probably IS a better translation of what you wrote.

And that's fine as long as the road isn't also closed to pedestrians!
