Bike riders can ride in bus lanes and is often a way to avoid the heavy flow of traffic.  However if a sign appears with the words “Bus-only lane” the lane must be vacated.

Riders are often told to cycle to the left of the lane, however that isn't the law. Riders can cycle in the middle of the lane. The laws states "On a single lane road all vehicles must drive as close to the left as practicable," which applies to both cars and bikes.  On a multi lane road, bike riders can occupy the middle of the lane.

In NSW, when bikes are in a road environment they are considered a vehicle. As such they must follow all road rules like a motor vehicle, this includes coming to a complete stop at a stop sign and not using a mobile phone while riding.
