Correct answer
Yes.
As a general rule, cyclists must travel on the hard shoulder, but if it is insufficient or unusable they may occupy part of the lane, always on the right and occupying as little space as possible. They are also entitled to use that part of the right-hand lane on long descents on sections with bends or on sections of road with a gradient.
