Cycling rules!

Ever wondered if there is a speed limit on shared paths? Should cyclists ring their bell when passing pedestrians or not?  Are cyclists allowed to ride 2 abreast on the road or are they just being inconsiderate?

Find out about the rules of cycling (and walking!) on shared paths and roads here.
