Are bicycles allowed on roads like the A164?

Question

This question is aimed at those living in England, I just wondered if ordinary push bikes are allowed on roads like the A164. If not, then is there any other way of biking to the Humber Bridge (Yorkshire).

Answer 1

Yes. The resulting mangled bikes and bikers make an excellent substrate for filling potholes.

Answer 2

Bicycles are allowed on all roads except motorways. However, you will have to judge for yourself if it is actually safe to do so. On a busy road like an A road, you should try and cycle on the pavement if you can, just watch out for pedestrians!
