Weight Weenie Posted September 5, 2013 Share Hope they are OK! Doubt they can replace the bikes though, if there are any hubbers that have something suitable lying around maybe we can help them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5Seats Posted September 10, 2013 Share The question is. Are we legally allowed to cycle on a tarred road without a yellow lane? If not, then me quilty, but I do make myself as visible as possible ie. strobe lights front/back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mob Posted September 10, 2013 Share Yes you are- as a cyclist you are only legally required to stay as far left as possible. You are also entitled to use the entire lane, then move left when required, if it is not safe to overtake when the road is too narrow, its not the cyclist who should not be there - its the vehicle that should NOT overtake.

The area between the yellow line and the edge of tar is a designated emergency lane. Legally we are not allowed there either. We do ride there though as it is more safe to do so.
