If there is no-one from NT, their road rules are probably online
somewhere.

WHEN CYCLING ON BICYCLE PATHS AND FOOTPATHS:[/b]

• YOU MUST KEEP TO THE LEFT OF ANY ONCOMING BICYCLE RIDER.

• YOU CAN RIDE ON FOOTPATHS (UNLESS PROHIBITED BY A \"NO BICYCLE\"
SIGN), BUT YOU MUST KEEP LEFT AND GIVE WAY TO PEDESTRIANS.

• USE YOUR BELL OR HORN TO WARN OTHERS, ESPECIALLY WHEN RIDING UP
BEHIND THEM.

THE LEGISLATIVE BASIS (NT TRAFFIC ACT AND REGS):





[b]85. BICYCLES ON FOOTPATHS
(1) For the purposes of rule 250(1), if another law in force in the
Territory purports to prohibit the riding of bicycles on footpaths, the
law is ineffective unless "No Bicycles" signs are displayed to indicate
the area of footpath where riding of bicycles is prohibited.




(2) If another law in force in the Territory purports to prohibit
the riding of bicycles in a public place (such as a pedestrian mall),
the law is ineffective unless "No Bicycles" signs or "Road Access"
signs are displayed to indicate the area where riding of bicycles is
prohibited.

It's not exhaustive, but I did find this through the www.nt.gov.au website
(they have have a specific cycling sub-site at
http://www.ipe.nt.gov.au/whatwedo/cycling/index.html )
