Show answer

Correct answer

  • BNo.No.
Explanation

According to Article 27 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), drivers, including cyclists, may not ride or drive if they have taken narcotics, psychotropic drugs, stimulants or other substances that alter their physical or mental state. This is a very serious offence. So the correct answer is that the cyclist may not ride, because their ability to ride the bicycle safely is impaired.
