It is illegal to ride a bicycle on the pavement, but in practice, it's rarely enforced as there is no easy way to identify a cyclist.

Section 64  Highway Code:

"Something that confuses many cyclists is whether or not they are allowed to cycle on the pavement. According to Laws HA 1835 section 72 & RSA 1984, section 129, cyclists must not cycle on the pavement."
