Parking and filtering

So whats the deal with parking and overtaking in traffic. When it comes to parking can bikes park anywhere in the pavement? In town there are a few designated areas for bicycles where a few motorbikes park, but i also see bikes parked randomly on the pavement, outside their place of work for example. Anyone know the rules?

Also filtering through traffic, are we perfectly legal to just pop down the middle? Sometimes i feel intimidated if theres a police car in the queue. Anyone know their stuff?

Cheers

I guessed that about filtering, was just being worried about a copper seeing an RS125 filtering and thinking, lets follow him, hes mischeivous!

Cheers for the hints on the parking, but London im sure is different to Bedford, which is a MUCH smaller place lol. Also what about parking somewhere that requires a ticket to stay. Can we park there? Where can we put ticket without it getting nabbed??

Well i parked once in a pay to park zone, and didn't buy a ticket presuming bikes didn't have to. Sounds like i was lucky then Shocked

i sometimes park in between two cars in pay and display parking

i can argue that im not taking up a whole parking space then! Twisted Evil

On the note of parking, anyone in liverpool know if the NCP multi story parking places are free to bikers?

Thanks
