On the below web site are NPWS guidelines for cyclists.  It would appear the
cyclists I have met so far have read the guidelines and follow them.  The
first one that doesn't will hear about it!

http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/npws.nsf/Content/Cycling+responsibly

"As you approach walkers, give them plenty of warning by calling out or
ringing your bell. Slow right down, and only pass when it's safe.
When you meet horse riders, slow down and tell them you're approaching
(don't use your bell or horn). Move over and allow them to pass. A horse can
be frightened by a bicycle, endangering both its rider and you - so be
careful.
If you come across other cyclists who are not respecting the park or are
disturbing others, politely explain that cycling can only continue to be
acceptable in bushland areas if riders follow this code."

Cheers,
Karen.
