  • So you are happy with police and every man and his dog going by their own interpretations of the law

    That's exactly what you are doing! Whereby the police are applying it fairly uniformly according to the clarifications. I.e you can only exercise near your home and for a reasonable amount of time, generally seen as an hour as the upper limit.

    Pretty certain my behaviour isn't posing any risk to myself or others

    If the WHO don't know if covid19 can be transmitted via airborne means, how do you?

    Maybe they should have specified times and distances so we wouldn't have to disagree. All of my exercise recently has been reasonable and local, not like I have ridden to Deal overnight or gone ahead with Drag Sprints.

    Seriously though, on a personal level.

    Do you think, me riding alone, on known routes, moderately, fully provisioned and equipped, keeping well to myself(which is SOP anyway), not stopping and then returning to an empty house that I am really going to be a factor here?

    Maybe your energies should be directed more usefully.

    All I'm saying is that if a small percentage of cyclists continue to go on rides that aren't in close proximity to their homes I believe that recreational cycling will become restricted further. The conversations about this have already begun.

    So it doesn't matter if you are a risk to anybody or anything. It's not about that. It's about the fact that a small number of people, rightly or wrongly, are creating an issue that might lead to withdrawal of a privilege.

    Sometimes the perception of a non existent problem can be just as damaging as a real problem.

    I don't think anybody going for a long bike ride is causing a problem. And you don't think that either. But it's not you or I calling the shots.

    Don't worry about my energy, it takes very few calories to post in this thread once or twice a day.
