Let common sense & consideration rule !
Cyclist should be allowed to ride on the pavements, as long as they are aware and considerate to pedestrians, and of course it depends on the locality. I ride on some single carriage rural roads (A585 fleetwood to the M55 ) where cars and HGV belt past you at 50+ mph, whilst the pavements alongside remain some of the most unused I've ever seen.
