Correct answer
- CSí.Yes.
Cyclists must ride on the hard shoulder if it is usable, but on long downhill stretches with bends, when safety allows it, they may leave it and use the part of the right side of the carriageway that they need (Article 36 of the General Traffic Regulations). They may not take up the whole carriageway, and on dual carriageways (autovías) they must always ride on the hard shoulder.
