Correct answer

  • BSí.Yes.
Explanation

Yes. On long descents with bends, when it is safe to do so, cyclists may leave the hard shoulder and ride on the part of the right-hand side of the carriageway that they need (Article 36 of the General Traffic Regulations). They may not take up the whole lane or the whole carriageway.
