Explanation
Cyclist descending on the right-hand side of the carriageway
- If there is no specific lane, bicycles must ride on the **right hard shoulder** when it is **passable and sufficient**.
- If the hard shoulder is not usable, they may use only the **strictly necessary part of the carriageway**.
- On **prolonged descents with bends**, and whenever **safety allows**, bicycles may **leave the hard shoulder** and ride on as much of the **right-hand side of the carriageway** as they need.
The following must also use the hard shoulder, under the same conditions: **mopeds**, **animal-drawn vehicles**, **special vehicles up to 3,500 kg**, and **vehicles for persons with reduced mobility**.
Conclusion: on a descent with bends and safe conditions, a cyclist riding on the right-hand side of the carriageway is **riding correctly**.
