We are thinking of doing a ride down Snowdon in May, but
I've heard that the cycling restrictions have been moved
from June to May. (i.e. no riding on the mountain between
10am and 5pm) Our new plan is to walk up to the top with
the bikes and aim to get there around 4:30, then after 5pm
ride down. Does anyone know if this would cause a problem?
If we are walking with the bikes are we ok to be on there
during the restriction times?

2 hours max up, 1/2 hr back down - plenty of daylight at
this time of year to do it within the guidelines, so why not
just keep everybody sweet?

Very true. I didn't know how long it was likely to take
walking up there. If it's not very long we'll be fine. We're
actually now looking into camping there the night before and
ascending with the sunrise. This could be the favoured
option.. [1]
