Don't ride in groups or we will be stopped cycling completely.

No thanks

No it musn't. I'm off to collect my clicked shopping tomorrow and that won't be exercise alone but is perfectly legal. Please please everyone stop making shoot up.

I'm talking about exercise/recreational cycling. Of course people can ride their bikes to get shopping or travel to work. That's so obvious as to not even warrant mentioning

I'm talking about people using cycling as their daily exercise but then riding way further than daily exercise would warrant. This pushing of the envelope of reasonableness (and we all have our own definitions of this, mine is about two hours) may lead to clearer instructions on what constitutes reasonable daily exercise.

However, If someone with a knife wants your bike, give it to them, it’s not worth getting stabbed over

Generally speaking, that's pretty sage advice. Of course, if you know what you're doing the bicycle is a weapon with greater range, a shield, and an excellent piece of equipment for a grounpin. Even the most determined knife nutter will struggle press home an attack with a broken shin, or with his face pinned to the tarmac with a crossbar across the back of his neck.

When this current malarkey is all done I'd be happy to meet up for a spot of group training.

Assuming you've chosen the right bike, no ebike, too heavy to lift, no carbon it will dissolve on impact, no Brompton no cross bar, no Fixie as they are only ridden by Hipters who will run away anyway

Indeed! Imagine being robbed at knifepoint, readying yourself to spring into action and then realising that you're on your Ordinary!

2m NOT 2ft (which is less than the minimum 1m recommended by the WHO)

I know typo lol 2m= 6ft

They're talking about stricter lock-downs on the news this morning. This is what Gove thinks we should be doing now. Wonder what the more strict advice/rules will look like?

"Asked to clarify how much time people could spend exercising outside their homes, Mr Gove said: "It depends on each individual's fitness." The government has not so far issued a time limit for exercise, but has urged people to stay local.

"I would have thought that for most, a walk of up to an hour, or a run of 30 minutes, or a cycle ride between that, depending on their level of fitness, is appropriate," Mr Gove said.

They won't be getting my bike - I will be maintaining my social distance at all times.

Gove talking about exercise. Like most politicians not much first hand experience of what he is talking about. Now if it was waching box sets of game of thrones he would have more idea.

might be interested in that.

I trust the training would be safe for participants.

 

[Drago]

I've not had any real injuries in any of my own students, but I was safety officer for another trainer when a student broke their leg.

My son works for a Retail chain that hasn't closed, they have changed the store to click & collect only but they are still serving, although they are doing what they can not to get close to customers, for the past few days he's been out in the carpark advising people from a distance what the new procedure is, that you just can't turn up & browse or currently return anything. However he is still mixing with other members of the staff, what if say a group of 4 of them went out on a ride together, or had a social drink at one of their houses? Not that they would nor do they intend to, that I know of.
