A 'challenging' issue.?.

The rules of the road are the rules of the road. They apply to cyclists as well as scooters (classed by DVLA as motorised bicycle).
Yes you can lock your ride to a post/security barrier/lamp-post or the like providing it doesn't cause any impedance to pedestrians/civil vehicles/emergency access vehicles or cause a danger to other users.
Parking in a bicycle park is normally dependent on the owners of the site in question. Check the signage first.
Being in a box (junction I presume), normal rules apply to all, do not enter unless your exit is clear, including cyclists.
#4 - Never come across those lights in birmingham
#5 - Only if the blue sign at the side of the lane says you can
#6 - As above

General rule of thumb: if in doubt, DON'T DO IT

 

Thats discrimination

 

Huh?
What i meant was that having lights that favoured cyclists first above all others, was discrimination.

 

got me going for while there, thought i'd said something to upset you

 

on my tomos i go down allyways and everything, on my other bikes not so much, its funny, i live in "cycle city" (sykkelbyen) but theres no cyclepaths here and hardly anyone that cycles.... we dont even have a set if traffic lights on this island, its 45 mins drive to the nearest set of traffic lights....

 

I ride my scooters down the cycle lanes of birmingham all the time.
