Correct answer

  • BSí, siempre.Yes, always.
Explanation

Cyclists have right of way over motor vehicles: - When they are riding on a properly signed cycle lane, cyclist crossing or hard shoulder. - When a vehicle turns right or left to enter another road, where this is allowed, and there is a cyclist nearby. - When riding in a group, if the first cyclist has already started crossing or has entered a roundabout. When cyclists ride in a group, they are treated as a single moving unit for right of way purposes. In all other cases the general right of way rules between vehicles apply.
