You should not use cycleways.
You can use the road or footpaths.
Yes, I understand this, but in practice it's a might frustrating.
In Palmerston North, cycle lanes seem to come and go randomly on the same road - so I can legally be fine riding on one stretch of the road, only to then be breaching this the next, and this can all happen a few times within the same block.
Often there's a strip between the side of the road/parks and the cycle lane markings - I doubt I could be got for riding in that space.
