The Highway Code

Many cyclists have learnt to drive at some stage and have studied the Highway Code. If you have not, then you should read this before you start cycling. Most of the code applies to cyclists in the same way as it does for any other road user. Only where it explicitly says so should cyclists behave differently. Remember, cycling on the pavement is only legal on pavement that is signed as shared use for pedestrians and cyclists, and cyclists are required by law to obey traffic light signals.
