Explanation

The driver of any animal-drawn vehicle, special vehicle with a maximum authorised mass of no more than 3,500 kilograms, cycle, moped, cyclist support vehicle or vehicle for people with reduced mobility must, if there is no road or part of a road specially intended for them, travel on the right-hand hard shoulder, if it is passable and wide enough, and if not, use the smallest possible part of the carriageway. In this case the cyclist is keeping to the right, because there is no hard shoulder to ride on.
