Cycling in the UK - what you should consider before you start

Mr D has already covered this but: legally, you have one road user, one lane.  So yes, it is absolutely legal for a cyclist to be in the middle of a lane.

How wise is this?  It would be extremely unwise to be anywhere other than in the centre of your lane whilst approaching such a busy junction.  Anyone who has any experience of cycling (or being in a car, for that matter) on a busy road junction will know that all vehicles need to be clearly and safely demonstrating their intentions using road position/indication etc etc.
