Sadly this is true the local boy racers are using the empty roads as race tracks. I would never ride with headphones but i see a lot of people doing that maybe more now there's a new perception of safer roads? I can hear the engines revving from a fair distance so rather than get in close to the curb if i hear a car tearing round i try and get off the road if i can until they've passed. Yesterday was my last commute but I'll still be riding or running daily whilst still allowed. The roads should be safer due to the lack of volume but if this is matched with a lack of care there will still be accidents I've seen people crossing roads like there will be no cars and cars pulling out like there will be nothing coming as well as cyclists riding it the middle of the road enjoying the sunshine like they are the only people on the road. Stay safe everyone
