Is it generally permitted for bicycles to travel side by side in pairs?

Correct answer

Yes.

Road regulations generally permit bicycles to travel in pairs on public roads. This means that two cyclists may travel side by side in a cycle lane or on the hard shoulder, where permitted. This practice is governed by traffic and road-safety rules, and cyclists must maintain a suitable distance from each other and remain attentive to traffic to ensure safe travel. However, it is important to consult local regulations and specific traffic signs, as the rules may vary according to the location and particular circumstances.
